October 25th is my surgery date for RNY

After a LONG year of testing and appointments........

I finally got the date for my RNY..........

OCTOBER 25, 2010!

Good for you! Mine is 09/28 so pretty close to yours. The time is dragging for me, the wait seems endless!! It will be soon enough, I suppose.

Best of luck. :)

Yours is right around the corner!!!  I am so excited for you!
Let me know how everything goes.  =) Nicki

WOO HOO FOR YOU!!! CONGRATS!! You have worked hard for this I'm sure!! It will be here before you know it!!! That's what I keep telling myself. My surgey is Oct 5th

 October 18th for me -- just got the date today.

Both excited and terrified.

yay for the both of us...we are surgury buddies!! mine is oct 18 also, got my date yesterday!!

AWESOME!  It seems so far away, but so much to do before it gets here.  Keep me posted!! 

have you begun to get the stuff u need like food, vitamins and everything else?

I haven't started getting the vitamins or protein drinks or anything yet.  I haven't even met my Surgeon yet.  He taught a seminar I went to last October, but haven't officially met him.  I have pre-op on 10/14 with him.  The only thing I have gotten so far was vitamin D.  They sent me a letter because I am vitamin d defficient. 

My Mom had lap band last week and it was pretty rough in the beginning.  The pain level was high for a couple of days and now she's struggling with the 3 week liquid diet.  She can't wait to be on soft foods.  I think it was good to SEE up close and personal what a person goes through after weight loss surgery. 

I'm still excited though.  I can't wait to start my "new life".  I can't wait to hear how everyone else does as well!  I started a blog on blogspot.com to track Mom's weight loss, my weight loss, and my aunt is having RNY at the end of this month too. 

What have all of the "October folks" started to get or started doing to prepare so far?

congrads...yay for us, october is going to be exciting and both life changing for us yall.
