nov 7th

november 7th is my date . dr. krause is my surgeon is anyone close to that date.

Hi!  Congrats on your surgery date!!  I'm having surgery on Nov. 5th.... RNY, with Dr. Baghai here in So. Cal.  Best of Luck to you on this journey... and this is a great place for support if you have any questions or concerns... someone is always here to help!!  Don't know what I'd do without this board!!

 

Thanks for the comeback,originally i had a date of oct 17th,but it got moved to nov 7th. i kinda wi**** was done by now.  so i could start losing

Its never too early to start losing!!  I took this very seriously the minute I walked into my surgeons office.  When she told me what I would have to do once I had surgery... I started doing it immediately... and I havn't looked back.  That meant no more Diet Pepsi, no more Arthritis drugs, no more carbs, and lots of protein!!!  I've lost almost 40 lbs in 3 months!  This is a lifestyle change... and I knew I needed to do it now or never.  Your doctor didn't require that you lose weight before surgery?  Most will have you lose 10% to shrink the liver and belly fat a bit, and just to see how your body responds to the weight loss.  It gets you in the mindset too because after surgery there will be big changes...  and its kind of hard to change overnight!  Most people take from 6 months to 2 years to get in prep for this surgery.  I wish you the best of luck... and the 7th will be here before you know it!!!  Take Care!

November 7th as well. I am with you, I wi**** was done already. Everytime I think of it my stomach turns.

Congrats on your journey to being a healtier you. My Date is November the 12th
