I would like to find people having surgery on Febuary 23 2004

I would like to meet people with the same surgery date. So maybe we can comfort each other while we start our new lifes. Also it would be a great support and perhaps friendship.

Hello Emma my name is Mary I am also having surgery on the 23rd, but I am not sure I will be able to. My car broke down and my Dr.'s office is a little ways from me so w/o a car I cant get to him or the hospital or my other appointments so I will prolly have to put it off

Goodmorning all from sunny San Diego, My name is Ericka and I am also having surgery on the 23rd (11 long days and counting lol). I would love to keep in contact so we can compare notes. It will be fun. Just email me anytime...Ericka

Ericka,Thanks for writing back. I agree it would be cool to have someone who is going through the same life change to share the experience with. My name on my profile is Ella but I actually go by Kathy. I went to have my labs done today and finally got to talk to my surgeon. I'm very excited. My surgery is at Good Sam in Phoenix Az at 1:00pm.Well I won,t bore you write back soon

I will be a loser on Feb 23rd also!! I would love to keep in contact with everyone. What is everyone doing in preparation?? Annette

Hi Annette, I went and had my pre-op labs done today. They also took my scarey mug shots and my dreaded measurements.It actually did not bother me because it will be the last time that I will be at those measurements again.lol Thanks, Kathy

Wooo hoo for the 23rd! It's a great day for a new beginning. I will be having my surgery that day as well. I have been buying everything I can think of to make life easier. Not sure if it will help, but I am at least making the time go by. I bought one of those bed lounger things that helps you sit up in bed. I have bought all kinds of samples of protein drinks. You might try this website vitalady.com. They sell samples of different protein drinks and soups for gastric bypass patients. That way you don't have to buy the whole thing if you don't like it. I have also bought 2 new robes for the hospital and books galore for my at home time. I have been eating and drinking everything I won't have anymore. I guess its silly, but my doctor says "you may as well live it up now" Good luck to all of us on the 23rd!

That is so funny I also have been eating everything I can imagine. Lets see Monday: Olive Garden Tues: Outback Steak house Wed: Applebees and tonight I had Pizza Hut. My friends think I'm crazy but I have to start this liquid diet next week, you best believe i'm taking advantage of food.. The only thing is i'm kinda feeling guilty for eating so much. (did i say kinda) Well take care everyone..Goodluck to everyone and God bless...Ericka

My date is 2-20 so were pretty close, i am having all the feelings of doubt as i am sure everyone goes through, but trying to hang in there...feeling very anxious !!!!! DEB
