Just got the call. I have to be at the hospital by 6:30 am. I'm nauseated.

UGH...Tomorrow is my day and I am so nervous I feel like I don't want to do this!! I remember a few weeks ago I was so macho and I kept saying how it wasn't a big deal but here I am today questioning my decision. UGH!! There is no turning back now. I will do this I just need to get over this emotional crap. I also think it may be because I am hungry. Damn stomach!

I only had to do a 7 day liquid diet. I am on day 5 of mine and it's been hard. My surgery is Wednesday. Good luck you can do it.

Day two of my pre op diet is going better than day one. After today only 5 more till my surgery. So close yet so far away!!

Where in PA? I'm in Lancaster but my date is the 11th.

Congratulations! My surgery is on the 11th. It's great to have wives that support our decision and I am thankful that mine also supports me. Good luck.

I got a list at my nutrition class on last Wednesday. I am supposed to get a multi vitamin, calcium citrate that dissolves in my mouth and B 12 vitamin.

I'm nervous too but I think in the end it will be a good thing. My surgery is September 11th and I've been going back and fourth wondering if this is the right thing to do but I know it is. Good luck and let me know how you do. I always like to see a guys perspective, no disrespect to the ladies.

Oh I haven't used Methotrexate or folic acid for two or three years now. My second Rheumatologist was an awesome guy. I really miss him. He is the one that helped me out the most. My first rheumy was a quack and now this one, my third rheumy is alright.

Congratulations! I can't wait! Even though I will be taking medications for my RA I would love to scratch my B/P med off cause it makes me have to run to the bathroom all the time. I would also like to get rid of my CPAP machine.

So you think I won't be able to take my Celebrex anymore?

My surgeon said it would help me a lot. I am very hopeful.
