I am excited to to start the new year with new goals that can be met! What kind of diet have you been told that you will be eating 3 weeks post op. I think I need to go in for another doctor visit. on my last pre-op visit it was when I was planning on the lap band. I am now getting the roux-en-y at the advice of my doctor and alot of deep soul searching. I had been talk to about all of the info for lap band until that day. now i need all of the info for the other procedure. thanks for your replies!!

I am going to have mine at St Vincent.  Dr M Inman is my Surgeon, having the Laproscopic RNY.  I have only seen her one time, but the staff  has been fabulous.  
I imagine you will not be feeling much like thinking of anything for a day or two after the surgery,  don't worry about it.   

Be thankful you don't have to do the liquid diet. My sister didn't have to do one except for the day before surgery and she said that was the worst day of her life! I am so blessed to get to have 14 of those!
I agree that is seems like there are a lot of revisions and that impacted my decision making as well. I also know that I didn't want to be traveling over an hour to my doctor for fills for the rest of my life. It is a very difficult decision to make and one just must make the best decision for their own cir****tances and lifestyle.
I am so ready..... I am excited to get to start 2010 as a "brand new woman!"

Thanks! Congrats to you too! I agree. I just shared at a staff meeting today that I will be out from Thanksgiving to January 4th. I have several sick days and I plan to use them during the 2 week liquid diet prior to surgery. If I change my mind... I can always go to work if it is harder to sit at home. Thank goodness the girls at the office are supportive of what I am doing. They get that the two weeks prior to surgery will probably be the worst two weeks of the whole process! 

It is nice to know we have the time off to enjoy recovering with our families during the holidays. I hope you have an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery!

I am scheduled 12/09/2009.   I am really looking forward to it, but still a bit nervous. Good Luck, I will be thinking of you on your day!
