I live near Gurnee, having mine done at Highland Park Hosp. I THINK My surgery is first thing in the AM, like 7:30 or so? So great! I'm glad I have a band buddy! Where in WI do you live?

I am from Lancaster, A small town about 45 minutes from Dubuque Iowa. Are you nervous yet? I have 3 kids 12, 11 and 7 but they dont know what I am going to Colorado for. Do you have any kids? Are you on a pre-op diet? I am, sort of like the Atkins one, but I have limited amounts I can eat, and no food with any form of sugar. So needless to say, I will be taking several hours at Wal-mart this weekend trying to find some food that I will be able to eat! I will be starting it on the 9th....OH My One week from today! Its kinda of going by fast, but sometimes seems soooo slow!! I quit smoking on Friday March 21st though, So Its been a little tough!

My surgery is 4/23! I am having mine done at the Bariatric center of excellence in Eugene, Oregon with Dr. Umbach.

At this time I do not have a pre op diet. I was told by the surgeon if I lose 5-10 pounds that I wont have to do a liquid diet. I am still dieting even tho I went over that and hope to lose a couple more before my preop appt on 4/17.

Hmm, I might be the only one of us having to do the 10 days of liquids? ? I'm so ready that I just feel like "BRING IT ON!!" We'll see how I feel on Sunday, lol!
