im most nervous about the surgery if everything is going to go alright and there isnt any complications druing the surgery. and dealing with the pain.. i dont hace a verry high threshold for pain so i hope that they will dope me up with good pain killers lol.. but i trust my surgeon... the diet that i am on it mainly fruits vegtables and meat, no noodles breads or any startches of any sort, i have started to drink  100% whey protein... dont try the chocolate one lol its not all that good of tasting lol.. the first 2 weeks before surgery your suppost to eat 5 small meals a day, which they discuss at education day, if u havent gone to it, just to warn you its a verry long class but its worth it so that you can learn all the stuff that you nedd to do before and after surgery.. they also wanted me to start exercising 5 times a week for 30-40 minutes to build up the strength of my heart and lungs so that there wont be problems in that area.. but what i have been doing is walking and biking.. well that is all that i can think of saying.. if you want to know anything else from me just let me know..

Hi im from Newton Iowa. my surgeon is Dr. Coster in Grinnell and im haveing the gastric bypass done on the 5th of June, im a litlle nervous about my surgery as it is geting close to time..

Good morning, I am Jennifer from Alaska, I am 36 years old 7 months out from VSG. I am looking for new freinds too talk to.. I would love to connect with others since my Dr. has done a little in Alaska where I live.

Yes, I am doing a 1/2 marathon in June 2012. I never thought possible. Ohh yeah baby, here I come to get this marathon done.

 I am going to get my 1/2 marathon done in 5 hours. I did a 10 K mock and got done in 2 hours. 

My heart is in RI does that count?  I am originally from Providence but have been living in Pittsburgh PA for 7yrs.

I did open surgery.  My surgeon doesn't do laproscopic on RNY but will on lapband. Now relax. Everything will fall into place.
