Hello, everyone! Surgery tomorrow!

Hello, I am new to this forum. My name is JuJu and I am having my RNY tomorrow at Fairvview Hospital, Mpls! I am soooo scared and nervous and trying not to be freaked out. I am so happy to finally be on my way after waiting 3 yrs to get this surgery. I have a 19 month old son who deserves a healthy, active mommy and I want to give it to him, God willing. I cannot wait to start my new way of life!

Congrats on your new journey!  Keep us posted on how your surgery goes (or have someone post for you!) and feel free to ask anything.. (and I mean anything)
I felt so prepared but once you're on the other side of the fence, it's definately a new world! Just make sure you get up and walk as soon as you can post-op and sip! walk, sip sip sip.. walk, sip sip sip....

I was up every 2 hours on the dot peeing too.. so I'd do that and then walk and then go back to sleep..

YAY!

Welcome JuJu and best wishes for a safe and healthy surgery!!  I admire your persistance...3 years...wow, you deserve this so much!!

I wish you the best of luck. I haven't had the surgery yet, still waiting on approval, which **fingers crossed** will come soon. Although the risks are very low, as a mother its hard not to think about them which is why I waited so long to look into WLS. But like you said, your son deserves a healthy, active mommy, and you deserve to be one for him.

The surgery will go great and you'll be running around with your little boy in no time.

WELCOME and CONGRATULATIONS!!! 

You'll be a loser before ya know it - just follow the rules, and your tool WILL do it's job for you!

And someday when your little man wraps his little arms all the way around you, you'll cry for joy that you took this step!

All the best to you tomorrow, JuJu - I'm sure it will be good.  And the new life worth it!  Can't wait to be there, too.

Hey JuJu! That's awesome! We'll see you on the loser's bench!
