Scheduled!

As of today, I'm officially scheduled for surgery with Dr. Schram at Barix in Ypsilanti. July 9th will be the big day (had to fit it into a full time work schedule and evening classes to finish my degree). I go in for my pre-admission testing on the 25th or June... I guess the ball's really rolling now...

Congratulations. It's exciting when you get the date. I had my surgery two days ago - lap band - and I'm feeling really well tonight - I wish you the best on your journey!

Congrats to you Ralphie!!! Time will go by so fast it will be here in no time!!! Follow dr's orders and you will do great!!!! Hugs Judy

Wow - Sounds like you got alot goin on this summer! Congrats on the date. I am having Dr. Schram do my lap RNY on 6/4. Did he mention to you about losing weight before your surgery? I don't remember him saying anything to me about that.

CONGRATS!!! excited for you you will be in my prayers...

Congrats Raphie!!!! Your time will be here before you know it.... Shawn M.

Congrats!!! You will do great and keep us posted on your progress! Wendy

Thanks everyone. It's so nice to have so much support from all of you! I'm anxious, nervous, excited... all the normal things, I guess... Belinda, Dr. Schram did tell me to lose as much weight as i could before surgery. I knew going into my consultation that my liver enzymes are up and if my liver is enlarged (it most likely is), it could get in the way for a laproscopic surgery (which is obviously what I'd prefer) and losing weight should help shrink my liver a bit, so i'm trying! I'm sure it's different for everyone...
