Hi....thanks for the words of support....I'm doing the best that I can to be ready....I got the jello...the broth...the decaffe tea...the 3 different types of protein...cleaned out my closet...set it up with several different kinds of clothes...from my sister who had surgery...got chewable vitamins...do my current vitamins everyday..like seven of them...to prepare my body for surgery...got a robe and slippers for the hospital...will pack my bag this weekend...and i pray everyday just to keep things in perspective ...and i'm addicted to looking at before and after pics...are you? So how are you doing with your preparations???? Eileen

It sounds like you are organized. Wanna come over here and help me? I'm sort of going in circles and can't finish anything I start. We are going to Nebraska, so it's a little vacation, too. I have the hotels booked for our trip and the pets will go to Kennelwood (ca-ching! gee-zo!) The fish have feeding sticks for their aquariums. I have luggage all over the place, but nothing packed yet. I have 3 different lists going. I have some protein samples and protein bars. I'll wait until we get back to decide what sounds like it would be ok to eat. Doc says whatever I want that doesn't make me sick, so we'll see. I still need to pay bills and pack. DH is taking the car in for a check-up. I'm getting my hair and eyebrows done so I'll be all purdy. I know there are other things, but I can't think right now. I love the before and after pictures. Talk about impressive! I catch DH looking over at my monitor and he comments about what a change there is. I know he's wondering what he will end up with. Jeanie

Hi Jenny! My name is Nancy Jolly and I live in Paris, KY. I will be having lap RNY on 2/7/05 at Georgetown Community Hospital in Georgetown, Kentucky which will be performed by Dr. John Oldham. I am so excited to begin my new life; however, I'm a little nervous too! It's hard going into the unknown sometimes. Best wishes to everyone for their upcoming surgeries. Pretty soon, we'll all be LOSERS (and for once in our lives, that's a good thing)!

feb 3rd for me in decatur, il. I'm having mine done open just one week away yeahhhhhhhhhhhh

I am having surgery on Feb. 1st in Nampa, ID by Dr. Valentine... What a great Valentine's present, eh?

Hi Feb 4th is my date for Lap Band. I will be going into hospital in Central London and my Surgeon Mr John Rogers, has done more of these procedures than any other in the UK apparently.Absolutely terrifed despite this.I am trying to focus on the rewards but the getting through the surgery bit is making me feel very frightened.I have only just joined this wonderful warm family we all have here on this site and I am envisaging holding hands and sending out love and support to each other to get over this hurdle.My love to you all xxx

I am scheduled for 2-5-2005 myself.

Hello all! I'm scheduled for 2/7/05 Lap RNY at the Univ. of Pennsylvania Hospital with Dr. Williams. It's scary to venture into the unknown but also exciting to think I might soon be mistaken for Tom Cruise instead of John Candy! I simply cannot imagine what life will be like in the near future but it's time for me, and all of us, to go on this adventure into the unknown...I wish all the best of luck in their adventures as well...

Hey Feb 5 brother! I lived in Fayetteville for some years. A little neighborhood just near the mall - Right behind where the Wal-Mart used to be (before they built the Super Wal-mart). I was an Army wife. Hooah! My kids still have friends there and go visit pretty often. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jenny in Jamaica Dr. Aceves; lap RNY; Feb 5, 2005
