 Sitting in waiting room awaiting pre op testing.  Starting my two week liquid diet today.  Gulp!!!

Welcome to the club.   Without question having this surgery has changed my life for the better.   Good luck to you.

 Hi Nana!  How exciting!  I actually have my Pre-Op in two days with the hospital and on Jan 4th with my surgeon.  I started my liquid diet yesterday, and so far so good.  What time do you have to be at the hospital?  I have to be there early...7:30 am.  Very excited it's not later! We are in the final stretch as far as the surgery goes!  I am looking forward to starting my new journey once I wake up from surgery!

Hello there:)  I just had my surgery done (Gastric Bypass) on December 20th 2011.  I was as nervous as anyone could be going in that morning.  I always think the worse!  I have to tell you you have nothing to worry about:)  If you have a good Dr and a good hospital or clinic you're in good hands:)  My surgery had no complications.  I was in the hospital overnight and came home that next evening.  It's been a week today and my pain is very minimal now!!  Infact i ate my first scrambled egg today and so good so far!  Its an amazing feeling not to be hungry or think of food constantly!  I think the hardest part of this so far is trying to get as many fluids in me as i can.  Good luck and i know you will do well:)
