HI!  I live in Renton too!!  I am having RNY on 9/20.  I know you're having a revision but you know what I'm getting ready to go through & would love to pick your brain.  I read the board but it would be nice to talk to someone in my neck of the woods!!  

I just had the pre-op procedure done with Dr. Oh where they put the little camera down in your stomach.  When I left they told me they did a biopsy so I couldn't have any ibuprofen for 2 weeks.  I was out of it so I didn't think to question why they did the biopsy.  Has anyone else had to have a biopsy with this procedure?  I am a little worried now.  Thank you for any feedback.  Have a great day to all

Congrats on getting approved!!!  I started dieting/changing my lifstyle 6 months before surgery, so I stuck with it....I even managed to lose weight during the holidays (a miracle).  I allowed myself to have 1 last free for all meal the night before I had to start the liquid diet.  We went to Outback steakhouse (YUM)!  I do regret not having a couple other things one more time (peanut buster parfait, zips french fires) but it's ok.........Sometimes I still crave those items, then other times they totally gross me out.  Keep me posted!

She is referring to the milk to use with the nectar powder...
