Topic: RE: New Here
Welcome!
Lots of good folks here, and we will answer anything we can! (though sometimes the answer is "call your surgeon!!". :)
Lots of success stories here, and I think it's because we stay connected (at least, that's how I think I've continued to do well), so commit to support somewhere!

Topic: RE: pre-op liquid diet
Thanks! I have Dr. Shore ...but Jiser is part of the same practic so I do know who he is. But it could just be the hospital requirements not really the surgeons requirements, know what I mean? He is pretty nice though :)

p.s. are you both on facebook?? I can find you both and send you an invitation to the groups facebook page if you would like? The group is private so don't worry about any of your friends seeing what you post on the board (I am NOT open about my surgery on facebook so this was perfect for me!)

Topic: RE: pre-op liquid diet
Congratulations on reaching your goal. that is so awesome... Yes Dr Jiser is at Emerson as well as Lowell so maybe there is no pre-op liquid diet I have been reading way to much.. lol... Dr Jiser is really nice easy to talk to and I feel very confident with him.. But I am still nervous..
Topic: RE: Bridgewater Meeting
I would like to be part of the Bridgewater group also.
I'm scheduled for my RNY surgery on Tuesday so I'm a few weeks away from getting in a car and driving but without a doubt I'm going to need some help and support and would like to be proactive in becoming a part of this group if there's room for more!!!
Thanks :-)

Jiser is at Emerson?? He is at my hospital too and we don't have a pre-op liquid diet. Hmm......
Topic: RE: New Here
Welcome. Being scared and excited it normal. My daughter had the RNY in August 2009 and I swore up and down that I would never do the surgery and she shouldn't either. It is because I was not educated. Once I saw her results over the course of a few months and asked her lots of questions I decided to join the message boards. I learned alot reading personal accounts of what people went through and I asked everyone I could on here and the general RNY boards many questions. I had my RNY in Sept 2010 and am glad I did.
Feel free to ask anything, there is never a dumb question and even if it has been answered before somewhere on the message boards there is always someone willing to answer it again or post a link to other helpful responses.
