Surgery date....

I am scheduled for preop on September 2nd and surgery is on September 8th. I am nervous but can't wait!!!!

Good for you.  It really isn't as bad as it might seem.  I had mine on July 23rd and am ready to head back to the gym.  A few tips that were given to me:  You will have lots of gas.  Use gasx and lots of walking.  My shoulder also hurt for about 5 days. Again, walking will help.  Some of that is from the gas.  I've lost 18 lbs, 10 lbs were pre-op due to the high protein liquid diet.  You will do great.  Keep us informed.  During the first 3 weeks, while on liquid, soup will be your best friend. This is a great way to get off sugar.  Don't even miss it

Thank you, I will keep everyone updated. I am sure I will have maby questions from my fellow bandsters. Congrats on your surgery too.

Congratulations! We'll make room on the losers bench for you!

Thanks! I can't wait!!!

Congrats on the start to the new chapter in your life.
