Less than 48 Hours to go

I am scheduled to have my RNY done at 8 am Monday, September, 19th.  On day 13 of liquid diet today and curious about what my weight will be when I arrive at the hospital Monday morning.  Have not been nervous leading up to the procedure but I still have the hour drive to the hospital Monday morning.

I've picked up some tips and great advice during the pre-op period and look forward to online support following the procedure.

To a bright future to each and every one of you.

Good luck and post when you can.

Good luck! I be right behind you on Friday! Keep us posted. 

Good luck!  I had mine on 9/7.  FYI.  They didn't weigh me on surgery day.  Weird, right?

Yes, that does sound a bit strange.  When the hospital called on Friday to go over the registration and surgery prep process, they mentioned a weigh-in.  I am going to weigh before I leave home early Monday morning so that I can calibrate my home scale to the one at the hospital.  In addition to a traditional scale, we have a digital scale that is supposed to weigh up to 400 lbs but I don't believe it really will weigh that high.  I have people I know that weighted between 350 and 400 and it gave off error messages.

They weight you without you knowing it.  When you get on the bed in the operating room it calculates it.

I lost 14# on the 2 week liquid preop diet. All the best for you for surgery!

Thanks for the kind words and support.  I hope to have a significant weight loss on the liquid diet pre-op to make the surgery easier on the surgeon and enhance my post-op recovery.

Hey good luck to you Monday.  I was down 12 lbs from the pre op.  Let us know when your done.

You'll do just great. Let us know when you're on the other side.
