My surgery date for open RNY is September 22, 2008. I could have gone in sooner but i have some loose ends to tie up with my business. I just want to extend a huge thanks to all the guys on this forum. Your help has been great. I will keep you posted.
Congrats, Clapton. Now's a good time to get prepared for life after WLS by getting in some walking and starting to learn about good nutritional eating. Best of luck and get ready for the ride of your life.
Congratulations on getting the date! I scheduled my surgery far in advance also due to some conflicts at work, it really gave me time to get prepared (i.e. bought protien supplements, caught up at work, worked around the house,etc). Good luck to you.
Congrats to ya Clapton!! The Loser's Bench is awaitin' ya, brother!!
