Topic: RE: having surgery in 15 days.
sorry its taken so long to get back to you. I would love to keep in touch. yes my surgery date is Oct 30th too. I am very nervous but very excited.   Have you started your pre-op diet yet. I have and it has been hard for me lately.  I have been so stressed out trying to get the Doctor everything he needs. And I have 5 children so with all thier activities and stuff i feel like i am running around like a chicken with his head cut off LOL....
I just keep thinking once this is all behind us what a beutiful new beginning... how exciting.  It was great talking to you and I would love to keep in touch and share notes. I will keep you in my prayers....

Topic: RE: Just started Pre-op Diet and I am starving to death!!!
I am on day 3 of my pre-op liquid diet.  My Dr's office said nothing but protein drinks and a snack which is isopure protein drink.  I called the Dr's office to see if I could have anything like SF Popsicles, the answer was no.  No food, just the protein drinks.  URRGGHH!  I am so ready to be done with the surgery and on my way to NO MEDS for my diabetes.  Surgery is Monday 10-27-08 and it can not come soon enough!

Good luck everyone and prayers to all for successful surgery's!

Topic: RE: Surgery in 3 days
My surgery is also on friday.  I am having trouble sleeping.  Fall asleep ok, but wake up and can't get back to sleep.  The mind starts spinning.  I just get up and start some kind of project.  I even cleaned out my junk drawers. 

Best of luck to you.

See you on the back side. 

We should keep in touch

Topic: RE: Surgery in 3 days
I kind of worried that I'm not nervous...I'm just excited and can't wait for it to be over.  I know the night before I will be nervous and even more so the day of.  My Dr. gave me sleeping pills but I'd rather not take them.  I think I'm more worried about drinking that stuff to clean you out the day before.  We will have to compare notes when we get home.  GOOD LUCK!

Topic: BMI 35 with comorbidities...do I have a chance?
Has anyone here had the RNY with a BMI of 35? Did you have to jump through a million hoops? Was insuance difficult? I have my intake appointment at NW Hospital next week. I'm wondering if I'm wasting my time. My husband had his surgery this past may. He had the RNY but had severe diabetes (which I don't have). Any advice or experience to share? Thanks.

I would call my pcp and get a z pack right away to get rid of the cold or they may cancel your surgery.

Good luck!

Thank you for responding, and upon further review I was wrong its worse! I have BCN HMO!! I call the # you gave me and I have open enrolment next week and she is going to help me make a better choice in insurance if there is anything better. As it is today they do not accept BCN HMO...Wish me luck...Road block # ! Huh????

Topic: RE: 3 days post-op, when will the bloating and pain subside?
I haven't had surgery yet, but I keep hearing that the bloating and gas is the worst pain!  They told us at our pre-op that you need to walk and get moving in order for the air to move into the intestines to be released.
