Jumped over the last hurdle....

I finished all my pre-op appointments, lost the 5%, and got my insurance approval this morning. I'm a go for a band on the 30th! Yay! For you bandsters on this board, besides having creamy and clear soups on hand, and protein shakes, and my vitamins, is there anything I need to do to prepare for surgery? Thanks! Donna B.

Woooo Hooooo!!!! Congrat Donna on getting all your ducks in a row and getting a date.. How thrilling.... best wishes to you for your surgery.. Shawn M.

Thanks, Shawn. Two more days for you, eh? Are you getting excited? Donna B.

Wonderful! Isn't it a great feeling???? My nutritionist recommended sf/ff popsicles and jello, too for those first couple of weeks. Otherwise, I'm pretty much doing what you are . . . soups, protein shakes and vitamins. Congrats to you! Denise

Good for you Donna! Very exciting. I am from Mass also. North of Boston. I am also having my Open RNY on the 30th as well at Mas General. What hospital are you going to? Peg G.

Hi there, Peg- I'm going to Emerson, in Concord. Dr. Jiser is doing my surgery. They seem really wonderful over there. It has been a great experience so far. I grew up north of Boston (ok, NH ). It's beautiful there. Donna B.

Congrats on your date Donna
