Hello Everyone,

My surgery date 11/21/08 for an RNY. Anyone else with that date?  It's great to connect with the "November" crowd!

Thanks for your responses everyone!  Yes, I share your excitement, anxiety and impatience!  My surgery is 5 weeks from tomorrow and it feels like an eternity to wait.  It is kind of odd to think about holiday eating this year.  I'm prepared for turkey broth at home on Thanksgiving!  But, not sure about how I'll deal with social events.  I'm sure there will be lots of great ideas on this web-site!  SG

Congratulations on your date!  Mine is November 25th.  I am so NOT ready!  Is there a check list out there of what we need to do before???

Hi Renee,

Your surgeon (or nutritionist) should tell you what to do to get ready in terms of pre-op diet.  I put together a list of things to take to the hospital after reading posts on OH and looking at other sites.  This is what I have:

Toothbrush & paste

lip balm

own pillow/case

lotion

extra socks

flip flops or slip on slippers

ipod  

a shirt that buttons in front

blackberry

 

Your own toilet paper

robe / granny duster

face cream

deodorant

baby wipes

sweats

phone & charger

extra underwear

book, reading material

robe

back scratcher

Good luck!  SG

Best Wishes on your surgery. MIne is a day before yours in PA. Thanks for posting the check list.
