Who has a March surgery date?

Who is ready??? I am having my RNY on March 5th i am so impatient, happy, ready, scared, nervous, and i am having butterflies  in my stomach at other times.

I can't believe my surgery is a week from today. What are you all doing to get ready the week beforehand?

Mine is March 7th...right behind you so save me room on the losers bench!!  Yesterday I had my endoscopy so it was like practice going in, so I was kinda glad. After day 2 of the liquid diet its actually been pretty good. I think I'm in mind frame that I have wanted this for so long!!

Best of luck to you!!!!

I'm also March 5th.  I, too, have all of those emotions. 

I made all of my calls to the Dr to find out exactly when and where to check in for surgery.  Nervous!  Almost panic-y that it is a week out.

I meet with a counselor who specializes in weight loss patients.  I'm talking with her about all of my anxieties.

One thing that is positive - I am halfway through this awful 800 cal, liquid pre-op diet!  Soooo hungry all of the time!

I've ordered books off of Amazon - Bariatric Cookbooks, and a "Gastric Bypass for Dummies" - type book.  I deal with stress by getting as much information as possible.

I also started using a CPAP.  Very mild apnea, but it will be exacerbated during surgery and sedation, so I have to get used to it.  Hate it!  Dr. said that I should only need it for a couple of months, so I'm renting it.

Good luck to both of us!

My surgery is March 19th!  I am SO ready to begin this process!! 

I have two kiddos so I am gettingg everything ready  for them, trying to make sure the house is organized so there is not too much post-op chaos, and getting all of my Stage II food ready to go as much as possible! 

Good Luck to all of the March People!!

Mine is March 6. I'm just concentrating on the liquid pre-op diet and completing my pre-op H&P and labs tomorrow. I am extremely excited.

Good luck to all and here's wishing a speedy, healthy recovery!

Mine is tomorrow...although technically in February...pretty close to March! :) My nerves have tried to get the better of me the past couple of days...I am excited but scared and tend to worry so that doesn't help! lol

I have been on liquid diet for the past 6 days so it is a constant reminder that it is getting close!

Best of luck to you!

GOOD LUCK, Speedy recovery !

March 4th here

March 5th here also.  Nervous as the date is getting closer but ready for this new change in my life and can't wait to get off this pre-op liquid diet! lol

I am scheduled for March 26th. I have most of the emotions already, but I can feel them building as it gets closer and closer. I still have some pre-op stuff to do but that should be all just about done early next week.

I am SOOOOO ready to do this though. I have been looking at RNY and other choices for 10 years now. For those 10 years I have fooled myself into thinking I could do this on my own. I tried and tried and tried and this year was the last straw.

Best of luck to all you March peeps.
