Hi,
I am scheduled for 9/13, too. Haven't heard what time I have to be at the hospital but I was told that the surgery was likely to be around 1 p.m.
13 will become my lucky number from now on!!!

Topic: Headed Out
Well, my surgery isn't until Friday; but I'm packed up and headed out the door to Anniston (about 6 hours away from where I live). I"ve got a fun filled week of pre-op and conferencing ahead of me, leading up to 8 a.m. Friday morning.
I don't imagine I'll have a chance to get back on here between now and then, so I just wanted to send my love out to everyone who's been so helpful and kind during the past several months.
I love you guys like you were family. Thanks for everything.
Here's to seeing you all on the "losing side"
(love)

Topic: RE: How much could you drink post-op?
That doesn't sound too different from the amount I've been able to drink. I am finding that by sipping, I can get down around 8 ounces of liquid in an hour. Switching off between protein drinks and water, that means I am pretty much drinking something constantly to have a shot at reaching my goals of 70 g protein and 64 ounces of water each day.
I would bet that if you had broken your staple line, it would hurt. Sounds like you're doing great!

Topic: RE: September 19th is surgery day!!!
Hi Debum
My surgery is also scheduled for September 19th .. at 2:20 PM .
I'm so scared and nervous but need to do this. I'm having the sleeve gastrectomy.. my
understanding is that this will replace the RNY (gastric bypass) possibly sometime in the near future.
I just hope it works.. lol I have not been put on pre surgery die except a couple of months ago doctor & nutritionist told me to lose weight (because of the liver etc)..
Tomorrow (Tuesday) I have to go to the hospital for pre-surgery testing and a nutritional class (for over hours).. maybe thats when I will be put on the pre surgery diet.
Good LUCK to you and I hope ALL goes well! If you can drop me a line and let me know how it went... sorry for carrying on.. NERVOUS!! LOL
Take care,
