Finally: PREOP
Well I am stunned, grateful and amazed....some of you know I was $$ away from having all the funds for the surgery--and I will have it in my hot little hands on Wednesday!
My pre-op is Thursday (5/14) a.m. and I have lost and kept off the 12lbs and still reducing on the great plan that the dietician put me on (protein bars and shakes only) for quick loss.
I AM SO EXCITED. I don't know if it's possible to have the surgery any quicker than 10-14 days afterwards (I'm sure it's to make sure bloodwork gets back and checks are cleared??) but dang it, I want it, like YESTERDAY!!!!
I have had a couple elective surgeries and don't get nervous, only excited for the "thing" to get fixed (so far a knee and both wrists) and so I don't have the concerns that a lot of people seem to have, which I thank God for. I'm also kind of a nut in that I like to see the videos of my surgeries when available and love medicine in general! Hmmm, wonder if Dr B makes videos of the procedures??
So I know you lovely ladies and gentlemen are already scooting down for me on the bench and I SO APPRECIATE YOU ALL!

I'm happy for you Lisa. I will have my surgery on the 20th of May, just around the corner. This will be my 2nd surgery. I had a lap band and I could not work it and it did not work for me either. I have heard so many good things about the VSG and Dr. Broussard. So, I'm excited. I had to lost 10 lbs and I have. I guess a few more would be even better. I too am cash pay. Keep me posted. I will see you at the bench. Best to you.

MY RNY 5-5-09 
Life is Good
Lisa,
before I had my RNY I was a virgin..uh surgically that is.
I was not excited. or nervous just at peace with my decision. I know I am werid. What was difficult for me was everyone else being nervous and scared for me. I went in cracking jokes, flirting with all male nurses and the anthesia doc....even grab his buttocks...
Now after having 11 surgeries....I am still the calm one on the block...and I still flirt.
As for your surgery date. Yes dear it can happen that fast all depends on the surgeons schedule....I would say I am scooting down the bench seat....but I hardly ever sit still for long so my seat is empty..HUGS
