Tomorrow is the big day!
Clear liquids only today, surgery is tomorrow! I've lost 7lbs in 5 days on the preop diet. I started a day late so today is my 6th.
I'm so excited i could squeal like a girl. I'm at work,and can't wait to get out today!
I'm eating sugar free jello cups and broth, as well as lots of water. I'm surprised at how good i feel. After day 3 of the preop diet i felt beget than i have in YEARS.

I'm so excited for you I'm having VGS on the 12Th as you know I'm excited and nervously awaiting my day. I hope everything goes smoothly for you. I was going to have rny but I was having a struggle deciding so i spoke with my doctor he asked me why i wanted to have rny surgery I told him honestly because my insurance only covers this type of surgery 1x per life time and I wanted to assure the weight woul come off and that I would not gain it back. He said to me miss Saenz I would recommend the vgs I believe you will do well he continued with the facts that vgs has less regain after loss less vitamin deficiency and if it doesn't work for you we can put in for a revision so I was comfortable with my choice and thankful for this site and the awesome people near and far that I've met fighting the same battle to live. Good luck my Michigan friend.

Hey girllfriend, looks like your hives cleared up. I was at the pre-surgery meeting with you. I am trying to remember what I wore. But I was the fat girl, ha ha! We all were except the 3 guys. I was seated by the door, across the table and talked to you. I may see you tomorrow, I am patiently waiting for the telephone call to tell me what time surgery will be. Do you have Dr. Carlin or Dr. Genaw? I have been busy cleaning. Today, I cleaned all the wastebaskets outside with the hose and even cleaned the tracks on the sliding glass doors. I full of nervous energy.
