Chapstick 2. Good Lotion 3. my own shampoo, 5 weeks and 2 days for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer9x Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Ironically my ex-wife's real birthday is 9/14. She had Gastric Bypass 7 or 8 years ago and is probably the only reason I am willing to go through with the surgery, My sister's birthday is also 9/14.

bhorn Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Another September 20th bypass person here! Not long now. What are you doing to get ready? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer9x Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Just officially scheduled the surgery for 9/13 with my pre-op appointment on 8/31. Was going to go with 9/15 but apparently Dr. Ehrlich prefers to do his bypasses on Tuesdays and his others on Thursdays. Works for me!

alpha1340 Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Hospital just called and scheduled my pre op testing, looks like i will have blood and urine testing, upper go with barium swallow, chest xray, EKG, pulmonary function, and see a hospital doc before I leave I have my all day pre-op class on 9/6 so looking forward to that, I went to a bulk food store here and got the little 2oz disposable cups with lids so I won't have to worry about keeping them, $5 total with the lids Bhorn where are you having yours at?

Mamacita Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I will have my 1 year surgiversary on September 14th! September is a great month to have bypass for many reasons! I liked September because its after the summer holidays and far enough from the winter holidays that I was far enough out to enjoy some of the holiday food. Congrats to all of you.....this is an amazing journey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherryann13 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 I'm on for September 27th. Although, I havent turned in my FMLA paperwork yet... And I'm very nervous about it (what my supervisor will say, not the surgery). And on another note, I feel like I haven't been doing enough to get ready, so I think it's time to really get myself in check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
