i got my surgery date

 I went to my doctor office today and we set my date for october 7.I'm so happy almost there only 20 days to go. Any advice would be great.

CONGRATULATIONS!!      You're on your way!  I would suggest getting your vitamins and supplements and start taking them.  Also, get some samples of different protein powders for your pre-op diet, don't buy too much though, your tastes will change after surgery!

I stumbled across this page today - lots of good info here, I think.

Be sure and only take approved vitamins before surgery.  I have been asked to leave off certain ones in the two weeks before some surgeries.  I am so very happy for you. The best advice I was given was don't buy a scale until at least after your 3 month post-op check up. 

Keep your sense of humor.   I wish you great success.  Loris
