Hi Cindy, Congragulations on your surgery date I know that you are doing the happy . My surgery date is one November 15th. What type of diet do they have you on? I am wanting to lose a few pounds before surgery. Well have to run a great day. Joyce

Hi Joyce Thanks so much. Well I'm tryin not to get to excited about it. Because if they change the date again I won't be so let down. i go on Nov10 for weigh in. They have me on 2 protein shakes a day and then supper ( something with protein in it and a green veggie.) really hard to stick to. And also 64 oz of water a day. Thanks and you have a great day also. Cindy

Welcome, and congratulations on your date. You will get that weight off. I read your profile, why is this surgery more risky for you since you have had the band? If you don't mind me asking. Also, are you having open or laporscopic? Pat

Hi Cindy! I'm new to the message board as well. Good luck and you'll lose that weight!!!

Hey Congratulations I am sure You will do great with Your weight loss I got to nervous to eat. LOL Welcome to the group. 284/270/150 Shell

Cindy, Welcome. I had the open RNY in May 2002 and my weight was 389 but my highest weight was 421. I lost down to 389 before my date and the surgery was the best thing I ever did for myself. Keep positive thoughts, keep trying and the weight will come off. Keep us posted about your date. Praying that they don't change and you get this surgery and start a new life soon. Take care and God Bless.

Hi! Welcome to the group and GOOD LUCK! I'm sure you will do well with Dr. Nighbert... he is an EXCELLENT surgeon (he assisted on my emergency surgery) and I'm sure you will be happy with the entire weight loss center and program. They are great! Rhonna

HEY!!!! I am so glad you are here. I am praying that your surgery will go as scheduled and your weight will be where you need it to be. I know you are excited and probably find it hard to be. Welcome to the board and good luck with your visit on the 10th. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
