Upcoming Summer 2010 Switches

We are shooting for end of August here... I just want to get through all the paperwork as quick as I can and have a date but won't be able to submit till first week of July so still waiting!

Hi Jonathan, This is such a great idea! Mine is July 19 and I'm really excited about getting info on what I should be doing.

Here are a couple of "what should I bring" threads

Hey all, well i am only 10days away from surgery, and it's been a ride waiting i tell you, the wait 7yrs, for only 10 days counting down, omg i am just about freaked to the max, i had my preop visit with the surgeon on friday, started the liquid diet on tuesday so when i went and seen him I had already lost 6 lbs in 4days on this liquid diet... its a horrible thing this liquid thing, but must be.. When i saw Dr. E. he didn't mention anything about the supplements I would be on, I am on some already but not sure as to what he will have me on following the surgery, will he give me this info. when I am released from the hospital, or should I call there office on monday and talk with them, I am taking my actos (diabetic) 2500 b12, iron,multi. chewable,vit.c 500, Vit D3 2000. I would like to have all this stuff before i go in for surgery so i can be prepared for what I will be taking and as much as i need to take. I know i won't be taking these right out of surgery, but I would like to have them here so when I can. Any info would be great. Thx

Wow, 10 days away! I would certainly call the office this week and ask what you should expect to take. Id also look through this message board for more advice related to vitamins.

This link is Vitalady's suggested vitamin regimen. Many have had great success starting with that, and then adjusting based on future lab work.

Great idea Jonathan....
      I am scheduled to go under the knife on July 7th....
      I've gotten my protein samples...ordered vitamins from Celebrate...just ordered a 7-day vitamin organizer and am reading the forums daily...

Well I am certainly using the next 3 1/2 weeks to complete some projects I had pending @ home, such as painting, etc etc....so I can recover without stress.  I'm getting all my paperwork in order, medical directives, wills, etc...just to have everything in place.  Next week I'll start my "what to bring" list and after all the preop testing on June 28th, I will start ordering vitamins and protein shakes and accesories to have them home.

I am taking a 5 week leave, I am hoping this will be enough time for recovery.  I am happy this is the last summer hiding in over the knee, long sleeve clothes!  I am looking forward to being healthy for another 50 years.  This is my motivation to follow all the rules, finally I will see results!

I am very excited. I am spending the next few weeks getting my house in order. I am deep cleaning everything so that when I come home, I won't worry about it. Also, for the people helping me as I will know where everything is when they ask . I have ordered my vitamins and have a pill organizer for the time being. I am glad that there are so many of us getting switched Congrats everyone!!!

I leave for Brazil in exactly two weeks for surgery on the 7th.  Flight plans, passports and visas tucked away.  Additional vits and supplements ordered today. Most of my personal business is in order.  Just finishing up two more weeks of work then off we go!  Yea!

Thank's Jonathanac, I will look into the vita lady's regimen, and I am going to call the office on Monday Morning to ask them about the Vits..
