Hi Vee, Congradulations from one Arizonan to another!!! I was born at Good Samaritian Hospital and also had my first child there..Great hospital. Who is your surgeon? I am so excited for you So glad you have the 2nd surgery of the day..takes a little pressure off the waiting time. Good for you Virginia

Congratulations Vee! It will be here before you know it! My suggestions are to read as much as possible about the surgery in advance, so you'll know what to expect. There are some excellent books out there. Start cutting out the stuff you can't have after surgery, especially caffeine. You don't want to be dealing with a caffeine withdrawal in the hospital. You will be able to have it again, but, it will be awhile. Give up sodas, regular and diet. They are out of your life forever. Try to cut back on carbs. All this stuff seems counter-intuitive to do before WLS, since you will be physically restricted afterwards, but, I tell you, it will make your whole experience easier! Many doctors put there patients on a liquid diet for 1 to 2 weeks before surgery to shrink back their livers. It will be so worth it in the long run! I'm thrilled for you! Lori 384/292/170

Congratulations Vee!! Huggs, Ruth

VEE, GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!! And good luck on your journey!!! willby
