Surgery date Sept. 23rd

I'm having LAP RNY at St. A's in St. Louis on Thursday Sept. 23rd.... Gearing up for the dreaded two days of preops next week. Drats...they are putting me through the wringer. Anyone else having surgery on that day? Drop me a line... E~

Hi there I am also having my surgery on Sept. 23rd ! I am having an open RNY though. I am getting nervous about the pre ops also!! I have gained a few pounds and need to get them off by wednesday when I see the Dr.!! HELP!! Good Luck to you, you will be in my prayers!! Pam

Well then... you and I can be WLS buds together!... right now I have been following a pretty strict eating and exercising program... it is basically like an expanded postop diet.. (of course the amt. I eat is a bit more) but the food is nutritionally sound and NO JUNK allowed. I exercise a minimum of 40 mins. a night of cardio and so far I'm down 28lbs. from my all time high... I am SO looking foward to this surgery... I have preops on Monday and Wednesday and then surgery the following Thursday!... Please stay in touch... we will be able to help spur each other on to our individual goals! Best wishes... Elizabeth~

Hi, I'm also a Sept 23 person. My name is Susan and I am having my surgery in Southern Calif. at Fountian Valley Hospital. I live in Nortern Calif. so I had most of my tests done up here this past week. I was dreading them, but they were not too bad. The worst was the upper G.I., drinking all that barium. I forget to hold my nose when I drank it. I think it would have been easier. It really wasn't that bad. I have to see the Cardiologist next thurs. and then my husband and I are off to Fountian Valley Sunday. I have a few more tests there the beginning of the week. I am glad they are doing so many tests as it makes me feel more secure. It helps me not too be so nervous. The surgery seemed so far away in July. I can hardly believe the time is so near. It's nice to see other names with the same date. Susan

Hi E~ I, too am having surgery on September 23rd. Tina N
