Obesity surgery

Hello everyone!<br>I just wanted everyone to know that i had an open rny on Oct
5th.<br>Came through it fine and now I’m home recovering.<br>Thanks for your
prayers.<br>Dee (in Va)

I have finally been given a confirmed date for
surgery. It is Oct. 28! So close! I have been dieting as
suggested by my Dr. Believe it or not, the tummy tuck I had
done 160# ago, may hender me from haveing the
laproscopic procedure. Seems like there is "not enough loose
skin". So I am trying to loosen up my mid section by
dieting. Depending on how much weight I can loose will
determine lap or open. Stinks to think I HAVE to loose
weight when I am having this done because I can’t loose
weight. Anyway….I am very happy and counting the
hours!<br>Jean

Hi guys, thank you so much for those nice posts!
I am very upset at this moment, because as you see,
I am still here!!! My surgeon’s office called me
last night to tell me that he has been in California
all week and his flight home has been canceled. He
can’t make it home in time to do my surgery. SO they
moved it up to 2:30 this afternoon. If this doesn’t
happen for me today I will surely lose my mind!! I am so
sad, it’s 9 am and I would be in the middle of surgery
or just finishing up right now. How depressing. I
swear this dark cloud follows me wherever I go :(<br>If
you don’t hear from me again on here today, I
actually had it! <br>Thanks for letting me sound off. Big
hugs to all of you and thank you again for your posts.
Bear hugs, even!<br>~Laura~

anyone in this one.<br><br>PLEASE HELP<br>Mary P

pretty close! :)<br><br>(can’t wait to hit the 100# loss
mark.. Getting close!!!!)

I want to wish you "last minute" best of luck on
your surgery. I hope everything goes smoothly and
you recover quickly! Goodluck with everything and
keep us posted. Can’t wait to see you on "the other
side"… ;)<br>God Bless!!<br>Lisa B.

I see that there are only a few pictures posted.
Hope to see many more before and afters. I will
continue to post mine as soon as I cross over that bridge.
34 days and counting for me. Continued Success to
all.

Ok guys, well this is it. All I have to do is get
through tomorrow and be at the hospital early on Thursday
morning. Nervous and scared but I know that’s natural.
Tonight I’m going to my doctor’s post op meeting group
just to talk to some folks. That should a)ease my
tension or b)heighten it.<br>Wish me luck??<br>See you
all on the other side. <br>big hugs,<br>~Laura~

Of couse it is not the BEFORE… but I will work
on that… maybe after my next 20 pounds!! Lisa…
when are we going to see how you are doing? Is Adam
due home this week?? Hope everyone is doing well out
there… although I don’t post often… I read EVERYDAY
without fail! <br>God’s Peace!<br>Cindy aka gonna do it
