Topic: RE: What do you hope for 6 mths from surgery day
Ok here goes mine...
1. I want to be able to shave my legs without having to roll all over the tub.
2. I want to be able to wear the cute shorts rather than the ugly, baggy ones.
3. I want to be able to wear a bathing suit that doesn't include a dress or look like it came from 1920.
4. I want to be able to keep up with my kids.
5. I want to be able to want to go to the beach instead of find reasons to avoid it.
and there are tons more...

Topic: RE: November 10th
I had a Lap RNY on 11/10 too and was home by 8:30 pm on 11/11. I feel fine. I'm starting to hate water and have had a headache but no real need for pain meds. Good Luck to all the otheres that just had surgery!!
Topic: Anyone with an 11/21 date?
Hello...just wondering if anyone else has a November 21st surgery date? One week to go!
Topic: RE: Has any one cheated on their two wks diet...............
I am on a all liquid diet for 2 weeks. I want my liver as small as possible before surgery. It is hard but well worth the reduced risk of complications. I am also doing a 7 day total body cleanse, which had made me have WAY more energy. Anyway, keep up the good work. I am at the end of my 3rd day and this morning after just 2 days I had already lost 5lbs. Before my liquid diet I have been on Medifast (low cal 600-800/day) for the past month. I have lost a total of 28lbs. My md does not require this liquid diet so it is my choice to do this to be healthier, just as it is and will be our choice on how/what to eat after surgery as well.

We all second guess our actions and we all want this SO bad that we freak ourselves out trying to make sure we are perfect presurgery! Good luck tomorrow and keep thinking positive!

How exciting for you! Congrats on your date. I go in the day before you and I can't wait! How awesome that it worked out for you. My surgey date was the perfect date for me and my family who are watching our kids. I guess that means it is meant to be. Keep us posted on your success :>)
Topic: I have a surgery date (& it's 2 weeks away)!
Whooo hooooo!!! Yippeeee! I spoke to Dr. Rita Anderson's office today & I am scheduled for DS on Wednesday, November 26 at Kettering Medical Center... yes, I know it 's just 2 weeks away & the day before Thanksgiving but that was the date I was originally scheduled for RNY in Cincinnati (before I started reading the DS board & learned a thing or two). My sister had already asked off for work that week to be with me & I had told my boss it would be that date some time ago. Of course, later I told them it might change since I was changing surgeons (& surgeries), but this works out perfectly! I am so excited I can hardly stand it!!!
