Pre-Surgery Brief: Feeling twice my age due to weight, health and other physical illnesses or ailments. Looking forward to hearing from you all for a positive dialogue and brighter future. Scheduled for 6/15, I'm a real newbie (to this site as well as support). Have a massive Abdominal Hernia that can't be repaired until after LB. Definitely nervous about the surgery, pre-op and post-op food prep, restraint, hope I don't go sleep-walking to the Refrig, etc. during pre-op diet.

UPDATE: My Surgery was canceled while in operating room - surgeon was a 'no-show' without an explaination (geez, I'm sorry - something, etc.) morning of surgery on 6/15. Bizarre set of circumstances - see my post early on 6/16.

Latest Update: Surgery indefinitely canceled as of July 17th. BMI now too low to qualify and original surgeon never followed up after not showing up for surgery. I have since seen some really great surgeons who have empathized over what occurred. However, the "Good News" is that I lost 50 lbs on my own and they recommend not doing the surgery.
