OK, February peeps!

Hi!
I also have my surgery date 2/1 /2010 and Iam very nervous about it.
I am not sure what I shoud buy ahead of time as for food. I have always been overweight since I was in grade school. I am glad that I am having it done now as I am not sure how long it takes to heal up. Is it normal to be nervous ahead of time.

Hello! I Just got my surgery date today and it is FEB 2nd!!!! Only 4 short weeks!!! Next week I start my three week liquid diet! Not looking forward to it 5 slimfast high protien or boost glucose control a day! thats not alot and with the flavor options of chocolate or vanilla whoo hoo!! LOL I still can not wait! I would love a buddy to go through this with! I have 150-160lbs to loose I am down 14 lbs already and expect to loose more the next 4 weeks! let me know!! thanks!!!

My date got moved up to Feb. 5th (doing the happy dance)   31 Days left!

As the day gets closer, I think I get more nervous, asking myself, can I really do this, did I wait to long in life to have it done, and most of all will I be successful?  Then I settle down and say to myself what I have always said......"God did not put me on this earth to fail!!"  So as each one of us has our surgery, I will pray for us all to be successful, healthy and happy!!!  THIS IS OUR YEAR!!!!!   

I'm scheduled for 2/8/10. This is my third attempt at surgery First (1 Dec 09) canceled due to a mass in my neck, second (1/20/10) canceled due to doctor availability, now I'm on for  2/8/10. HOPE THIRD TIME IS A CHARM!  

60 lbs off!!

If you all read my earlier post, my doc told me a month before my first date he wanted me to loose 60 lbs or he wouldnt do the surgery.  So I pushed it out til 2-8-10.  As of this morning I have lost 60 lbs!! I have to go back and see him on the 19 to show him I have it off, then start my pre-op diet.  So ready to get this over with.

Congrats Roy! Awesome work.

And... let's hear it for the 2/8 people!! I was originally 2/2, but my mom passed away in December... and we scheduled the memorial service for 1/23. I didn't want to be doing the two-week liquid diet the day of the memorial service... not that I PLAN to over eat that day, but I just didn't want to be dealing with that on that day, y'know?

So... let's hear it for our February peeps!! Especially all you 2/8-ers! We've got a pretty exciting journey ahead of us here. And our lives are going to change, big-time!!

Here's to us all, for screwing up our courage to take this big step. It'll be worth it, you'll see.

Just got the call this MORNING! Yay, am scheduled for February 1st, am going in Monday for bloodwork and need to start the liquid diet on the 18th. Cannot believe how fast the process was-- I feel like after a year and a half of deciding it's finally here and suddenly I'm all kinds of nervous... in a good way! I like that we have a Feb group because we'll all be going through the same processes around the same time. Understandably we're all different, but it'll be nice to have a group of people who underwent surgery around the same date you did! So what's everyone buying and doing to get ready? Also how much time have you workers booked off?

Working on my tracker....

On Monday January 4 I was informed that my RNY is scheduled for Feb 2. I had started the process twice before but because of insurance issues wasn't able to have the procedure. Needless to say, this is the farthest I have gone with the process so even though I have an authorization I am still waiting for the other shoe to drop. I joked with the nurse that my fear is right before they start administering anesthia some one will come running through the doors shouting "wait, you can't do that!" I know I am being silly but I will remain cautiously optimistic.
 

 

This is my 3rd surgery date...  So i am still waiting for the call to tell me that there is another reason why it has to be moved!  But I am set for Feb 4th! 

I have been getting pushed off several times now, for different health reasons, but my surgeon actually called to tell me, and she said this is IT... WE ARE ALL GREEN TO GOOOO....

I want to believe, but we shall see.

I actually start a new promotion at work on Feb 14th, but it looks like I'm have to pu**** off a bit :(

But still totally sicked about my date!!!!

Woot-woot for us FEBRUARY 2010 WLS peeps! 

***and I am really getting a new birth date, my actual b-day is the 27th of Feb!!!  :-)***
