Woo Hoo!!!The countdown begins!!

I am sooooo excited! I went to see Dr. Wynn today and they gave me an early date for surgery then I originally planned. May 24th! This time next month I'll be a whole new me.They even told me they already have insurance approval, so everything is a go. I have been gathering so much information that I couldn't even think of any questions to ask Dr Wynn. Wow, this is really happening! Jen

Jen, Good luck with your new journey! Its a ride...enjoy it! Debbie

Congrats. Good for you. Try to stay positive and focused and your day will get here soon. Get the chapstick ready. That's all you'll need for the hospital. Bring a brush, toothpaste and toothbrush and you're set. They'll give you the gown and footies. I spent the last couple weeks going to my favorite places and eating myself silly. You see alot of us think you can never eat again. You eventually will be able to eat some of the old foods again, but never in the quanity as we do pre-op. Thank God. My pouch still works at 2 plus yrs out. Start to practice not drinking and eating at the same time. Wait 20 minutes in between. Have you found a protein shake you like yet? Don't buy in bulk though, your taste will change post op. Take my word on that too. Good luck. Elissa

Thanks for the tips. I can use all info I can get. Jen

Congrats, Jen. How wonderful that you're all set! Love & peace, Fran
