Thank you all for your Good Wishes!  Will keep you posted.

 Best of luck Eileen, glad your thinking positive that all will happen on 10/11!! I just got my date 10/26 from Dr Spencer Holover, same practice as your doctor!  I have a nature of worrying that something will mess up the date too but trying to pu**** out of my head. I can't say enough good things about everyone I have come into contact with at their offices!!

I wish you the best.  What prior surgeries did you have that he is telling you that he may not be able to perform the surgery?  I had my gallbladder, appendix, reflux and exploratory surgeries all laproscopic prior to my RNY.  I was told that there was a chance that I might have to be converted to open but they never said there was a chance I couldn't have the surgery.  The reflux surgery is what made my surgery so complicated.  They had to undo it and then do my RNY.  It made my surgery 5 1/2 hours long and thankfully my surgeon was able to do it laproscopically after all. 

The reflux surgery involved wrapping the top of the stomach around the bottom of my esophagus to tighten up the valve that controls acid from coming up.  Unfortunatly this was in the way of having WLS, so  I had to have it reversed.  I was nervous that my Reflux would come back but thankfully it didn't

Thank you!!   I can't wait.  spoke w/ the Dr.'s office today and they say everything is good.  Keep you posted.
