CONGRATULATIONS Jenny, on your upcoming surgery. Just a few more days and you will be well on your way! I had mine on Oct. 16th and everything is going great, as it will for you! You did not mention what kind of surgery you are having. I assume RNY? Everything will go fine, just go into it with a positive attitude and determination. Best of luck to you! We are all pulling for you! Jean

Seems to be alot of us feeling the same way you are...Mine is the same day and I am a fricking mess! Also I saw that video and I wish that I didn't. Rather just know the logistics other than seeing all the rest of it.

Jenny, I had mine done 41/2 years ago and it is the best thing that ever ever ever happened to me. I wish I could have had it done when I was younger, instead I was 55 and I was not long for this earth the way things were going. I was not afraid of the surgery. I was more afraid of dying. It does make one nervous but you will do fine. Ever want to talk just e-mail me, and I will be happy to do so. I am one of those that didn't get really skinny but I am happy and healthy. Stay strong, you are doing the right thing and you to will be healthy and happier than you thought you could be. I am pulling for you and I hope you will post and tell us how you are.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery... I think that the majority of us were nervous before surgery... normal and shows that you realize that this is a major abd. surgery... having said that, though, you will do fine. It will be all over before you know it, and then you will be on the "loser's bench"... LOL.. take care, and stay calm... pamper yourself with a massage, etc....

Congratulations! You won;'t believe how much better you feel in another month, and soon you will be bending over to tie your shoes without a problem, and fitting into theater seats with lots of room to spare!

Congratulations Jenny! I am pre-op and trying to lose my required 10%. Go to www.or-live.com and on the left side click on "More specialties", click on Gastroenterology and you should be able to find a webcast of either a lap band or RNY, I don't know which one you are having. Good luck! You will do fine and will be so thankful once it is all over with.

Everything will be fine, just follow the doctor's directions and you'll be just fine. I was waling the same day, and for me it was just the best choice of my life. I am 11 weeks post op and I already lost 43lbs. So, this is wonderful. Good luck and you'll see everything will be just fine.
