Hello Everyone!  I'm so glad to find a pennsylvania forum!!
I am having Lap RNY 4 weeks from today!!!   Got the date last week and was intially TERRIFIED- not sleeping, so anxious, etc.   

Since yesterday I had a nutrition class, nurse educator class,  pulmonologist, cardiologist and weight loss study for PCOS appts (yikes!  so many appts in 2 days).     The appts, especially the short time with the nurse educator and nutritionist, have made me feel better and more comfortable with my decision to get the surgery.     I also will not hesitate to get some meds for the anxiety along the way, if needed.

I have an echocardiogram and CAV (?) on the 20th and pre admit testing/ surgeon appt on the 15th, then surgery on 4/28!!!!!  

Anyone else having surgery in April??

Congratulations!! All those doctor appts will help take your mind off the upcoming surgery! It is a whirlwind of activity up to that date - and you're going to be fine. Keep us posted on how you're doing.
