CONGRATULATIONS Jenny, on your upcoming surgery. Just a few more days and
you will be well on your way! I had mine on Oct. 16th and everything is
going great, as it will for you! You did not mention what kind of surgery
you are having. I assume RNY? Everything will go fine, just go into it with
a positive attitude and determination. Best of luck to you! We are all
pulling for you! Jean

congrats, you have waited a long time for this and now it's here so just
hang in there and it'll be over before you know it. i'm waiting on
insurance approval at this time, so i can't speak from experience, but i do
know you've waited this long for a good reason so keep your chin up and
think positive. good luck.

Seems to be alot of us feeling the same way you are...Mine is the same day
and I am a fricking mess! Also I saw that video and I wish that I didn't.
Rather just know the logistics other than seeing all the rest of it.

Jenny, I had mine done 41/2 years ago and it is the best thing that ever
ever ever happened to me. I wish I could have had it done when I was
younger, instead I was 55 and I was not long for this earth the way things
were going. I was not afraid of the surgery. I was more afraid of dying.
It does make one nervous but you will do fine. Ever want to talk just
e-mail me, and I will be happy to do so. I am one of those that didn't get
really skinny but I am happy and healthy. Stay strong, you are doing the
right thing and you to will be healthy and happier than you thought you
could be. I am pulling for you and I hope you will post and tell us how
you are.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery... I think that the majority of us
were nervous before surgery... normal and shows that you realize that this
is a major abd. surgery... having said that, though, you will do fine. It
will be all over before you know it, and then you will be on the
"loser's bench"... LOL.. take care, and stay calm... pamper
yourself with a massage, etc....

Congratulations! You won;'t believe how much better you feel in another

problem, and fitting into theater seats with lots of room to spare!

Congratulations Jenny! I am pre-op and trying to lose my required 10%. Go
to www.or-live.com and on the left side click on "More
specialties", click on Gastroenterology and you should be able to find
a webcast of either a lap band or RNY, I don't know which one you are
having. Good luck! You will do fine and will be so thankful once it is all
over with.

Everything will be fine, just follow the doctor's directions and you'll be
just fine. I was waling the same day, and for me it was just the best
choice of my life. I am 11 weeks post op and I already lost 43lbs. So, this
is wonderful. Good luck and you'll see everything will be just fine.

I totally understand, my surgery is the 12th and I am feeling the same way.
I'm excited to start a new life but at the same time I'm scared to death.
Just know that you're not alone my thoughts will be with you on Monday and
good luck.
