Hi:

My surgery is scheduled for Dec. 8th which is 1 week from tomorrow.

I have been on a pre-op diet of protein shakes for breakfast, no sugar, caffeine or alcohol and high protein low fat foods for lunch & dinner.

Any advice or recommendations on what to bring to the hospital?

I am in preparation mode - getting babysitters on a schedule, stocking up on my post op liquids.

Good luck.

I am having RNY on Dec. 8th and am in the middle of scheduling babysitters.

I will be picking my supplies for the house when I come home.

thank you, it can be very scary i've been trying to make this happen for the last two yrs. sometimes the process can take a while. i had to change surgeons so some of my tests i had to repeat and just go through diet,psych and lab work all over. i do know this it's all worth in the end becuz being overwt. is not healthy at all. i wish u well wit ur surgery take care

Topic: My DS is scheduled for 12/16/09

I am a 40-year-old family physician with a present BMI of 48. I also have progressively worsening diabetes type 2, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obstructive sleep apnea. I have wasted 3 years trying to get insurance to pay for my surgery. I've given up on my employer approving it on our plan because it is, by the way, "cosmetic" and "costly". Now I've finally sucked it up and saved the money to pay cash for duodenal switch. I could not be more excited! I have started protein shakes preoperatively to decrease my fatty liver in hopes of having a successful laparoscopic surgery. I am new to this website and am looking forward to getting hooked into the network.
