|  Surgery in 5 DAYS!!! Hello from a Newbie... I would be lying if I were to say I'm not nervous. Perhaps it's excited nerves... I'm ready! Is there any last minute advice anyone could provide me before my surgery? I'm having the by-pass :> Thanks so much, I'm so impressed with how supportive everyone is here!

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | WOOHOO!!!! The nerves are typical, but once they give you the good stuff in your IV right before surgery - you won't care! Good luck and let us know how it goes!

| Thanks I can't believe how anxious I am. I just wish it would get here quicker, I can't stand thinking about it. I went to Wal-Mart yesterday and bought the Phophade soda and the cleansing wash. I also bought pretty much all the liquid phase food I'm going to need for the next 3 weeks. I'm just freaking out. I'm excited about what's to come and the new life I'm going to have, it's just knowing my insides are never going to be the same is a little freaky for me- well worth it however... Thanks everyone, you have no idea how comforting it is to read your posts...

| YAY on your upcoming surgery. From what I understand, the nerves are normal. I have the same thoughts when I think about it.. I'm excited but thethought of my insides being different forever.. well... that's a little scary... but then I think, they haven't done me any favors so far as far as weight goes, so now maybe I'll be able to function better when they're rearranged. LOL If that makes any sense.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Congrats! Nerves are normal. As far as advice, take the time now to get your vitamins and any liquids the surgeon said you can have after surgery, fill any prescriptions he may have given you. I made sure the bills were all paid and sent off before my surgery and laundry was done, anything the guys dont usually take care of cause its my job!!LOL
