I have a date!

I've been ready to get this weight off of me for quite a few years now, it's time for it to finally go! Right now I have minmal health problems, so I can't wait until they all go away! Good luck!!!!!!!

My surgery is Jan 6th.  I am part of a clinical trial for a procedure called toga.  There are no incisions at all.  The procedure is done through the mouth.  I am nervous and excited about having this procedure.

Lisa, I went to the clinical trials website and read up on this surgery. It was very interesting. I hope you are part of the group that actually gets the surgery. January 6th is the day of my pre-op visit with the surgeon. I will be thinking of you on this day.

I am having surgery 1/15/09...anyone else have that day???

If anyone would tell me what happens on that day and what to expect I would really appreciate it. I  know I am going to wake up and my world is going to change, but I'm curious to how it's been for people, especially the first few months.

Thanks!

Welcome!
I am having surgery on January 12th. I am so freakin' excited I can't stand it! The time is going by sooooo fast! I am going to stop drinking carbonated beverages starting tomorrow and try to be more conscious of chewing and sipping.
I am a little nervous though. Dumping is scarey to me! YUCK!
I have a slew of tests this month, start Medifast on 12/29 and then it is the "big day" on 1/12!
Sounds like we all will have alot to chat about in January.

Yes, January will not only be the new year for us, but it will be a start to a new life! Good luck!

I have to stop the carbonated drinks soon. I LOVE me some soda! But, I know it's not going to be possible soon. I'll stick to water and plain tea.

I gave up all soda and carbonation back in Sept. That's when I thought my surgery was going to be in OCT. When I changed it to JAN I did really good about staying away from it.  Just in the last few weeks i have started to drink MUG ROOT BEER..no caffeine...but carbonation.   I work at a gas station/convenience shop and its soooo easy to just walk over and fill up my cup...well i guess it would just be as easy to keep walking and get some water or tea too i guess...LOL

My work just started to carry muscle milk!! That will be my new treat!!

It was not so bad to give it up....that's how i know I'm ready...i have not really had any cravings or head hunger to speak of. Well...i take that back...one day at work...i was very stressed out and had gotten into it with my new boss....and i didn't know what to do with myself so i had a candy bar. ( i have pretty much given up chocolate too) I didn't even enjoy it and knew when i was eating it it was not because i was hungry but because i was upset.

Well...i wish everyone the best of luck with going cold turkey....LOL...i did it and i lived...had a wicked headache...but it was OK!! 



WE CAN DO THIS...WE CAN DO THIS...WE CAN DO THIS!
           GOOOOOOOOOOOO TEAMMMMMMMM!!!!
