Topic: 9-3-09!

After years of research, thought, ups-and-downs.... I am having RNY with Dr. Rogers at UCSF on 9-3.  Man, that's quick.  I have gotten over the grieving food thing months ago (except Diet Coke) and I am just ready to see what it will be like on the otherside!  If I know anything about WLS, it's that EVERYBODY has a different experience.  So, I look forward to reading and posting about how all of the September people and their new lives!

Good luck!

Topic: RNY on 9/22/09
Hello, I am excited as my surgery date approaches. However, just dont know where to start- Vitamins, iron, etc? Or get the drinks (protein, jello, broth)? How much would you buy starting off?   I realize its a major change that is in the making, but not sure what to expect or where to start..  Suggestions?....

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one LOL. I have been working on getting this done since jan-2009. I think the doctors put you through what they do to make sure you are in it for the long haul. I know the months past got rid of ANY reservations I had. I am sooo glad you were approved and excited for you too! Keep in touch....Sheree

Topic: RE: I have a date!

Well my date has been postponed! I had a stress test and my cardiologist saw some changes during the stress part so now I'm having a cardiac cath on August 31st. I was so excited now its another obstacle in my way. I do know I need to get this taken care of before any surgery but it just is depressing to have to wait once again. Anyone else have had their surgery postponed?
