surgery date on 7/6/10!!!! OMG!

Hi! Just wanted to introduce myself.. Name's Kimmy.. been a lurker for a long while now... Im scheduled for RNY on 7/6/10 with Dr. Hanna.  It was supposed to be on 7/13/10, but got a call friday and was rescheduled to the 6th!!!! Im excited and nervous all at the same time.  I never thought this day would ever come.. now that it's almost here... im just in shock i guess.

Hi Kimmy....

Welcome to the NV board, I have met a bunch of great girls on here.  You will do awesome with your surgery tomorrow!  Keep us posted on how you're doing.

thank you so much! i started the clear liquid diet yesterday.. and omg.. i kept getting head hungers.. :( i had to take some tylenol. this is day 2.. have to go get labs done today... it still seems so unreal that tomorrow is the big day....

Before you know it everything will be done and on the road to recovery!  For me head hunger stayed around for a long time, and still does.  Soon you will be losing weight so quick you will be in the thrift stores weekly cause nothing will fit long enough to buy new clothes....one thing I have learned the hard way is not to sample taste anything you are not supposed to eat. I am 7 years out and can eat anything which is not a good thing.

Hi Kimmy!  Welcome to the Las Vegas board! 

It's perfectly normal to be a little nervous before surgery, but you're in good hands with Dr. Hanna.   He will take good care of you tomorrow and you'll be taking your seat on the Loser's Bench with the rest of us.


***Don't forget to take your chapstick to the hospital.

i got home last night... im feeling a lot better than the last couple of days... still feel a lot of pressure in my tummy. Im walking more... i feel like i get full really fast... even with the water i feel like im full so quick.. still trying to get used to my new tummy. the whole time at the hospital all i had was ice chips... i didnt even eat anything they served. just had no appetite at all... i still can't believe i got it done.. guess im still in shock... my initial weigh in at dr. hanna's office was 297lbs, after the clear liquid diet i was on for 2 days.. i was 287lbs. today i weighed myself and weighed 286lbs. i wish my tummy would feel better already.. i still have a drain. still feel A LOT of pressure! anyway.. ill update as the days goes by...  hope everyone is doing well!!! take care!!! thank u  to barb and valerie for checking on me!
