OK, maybe I am just over reacting but my surgery is scheduled for 8/28/14 for revision from VBG to RNY.  Coming on here today, I was looking for tips for right before surgery and what to expect just after surgery, a refresher course.  I am scheduled for preop visit next Tuesday 8/19/14.  With me so far?  Regular excitement and nerves right?  Heck no, just found my surgeon died in July and the office has not told me.  I am shocked, scared, sad and angry!  I chose my surgeon because of his experience and totally believed in him.  I am so sad he has died, I cannot even tell you how sad.  I did not get a chance to know about his death and mourn him!  I have not had the chance to wrap my head around losing my trusted surgeon or decide if I want to use his partner.  It I guess was assumed I would learn at my preop visit, what a shock.  His partner I am sure is a fine surgeon but I do not know him.  I want to scream and cry for so many reasons.  My surgeon was outstanding mid his peer!  What a tremendous loss to the community!  I just can't wrap my head around all of this, I am just so taken back.  I do not know what to say.  Please pray for me as I feel very alone in my decision right now and have waited so long for this surgery.  My heart is racing and eyes full of tears!

Surgery scheduled for 8/28/14.  Go in for preop, admission and gallballbladder ultrasound on 08/19/14.  Started liquid protein this week to shrink liver. Excited and nervous but hungry for something to chew!!!
