Hi everyone,

I'm 20 days post-op (RNY on 7/25) and I am still in a considerable amount of pain. The pain is mainly near the largest incision site (upper right quadrant), but goes straight through to my spine, as if someone is punching me in

Haha - if that were only true (about the heat) I'd weight 120. I sweat just looking out the window. I'm in Maryland - not as hot as San Antonio (I grew up in Phoenix, though, so I DO know heat) and we've had a hot summer. I'm ready for fall! I wasn't told to go on a pre-op diet. I kind of wish I was. I've gained 10 pounds in the last month. I've had a repetitive "last meal." What does your diet consist of? Mostly fasting? How are you doing? Do you feel ready? Wish I could attach a picture - not exciting, but it's a countdown of our day. What time is your surgery? I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 AM. When you see it that way, it seems different. Like O M G it really is happening. Soon.

Good luck!!!!!!

I'm just outside San Antonio. If the heat keeps up, all I would have to do is stand outside and I'll completely melt away!!! How's the pre-op diet going??????

Thank you - the best of luck to you too! I don't know about you but I can't wait to have this over with. Where are you located?
