That just proves that even when you think you have a bad story, there is someone worse off than you. I guess that's why people like soap opera's, reality shows and Country & Western Music.

Thanks for making me feel better!!!!

=c) I'm so nervous that they'll get in there and determine that enough weight wasn't lost for my liver that they'll refuse to go through with it.

I'm envious of you that  you only have to do the 4 day prior liquid diet.  Did they give you any kind of weight goal prior? 

I'm excited for you to have your sleeve.  That would have been the first choice for both my husband and I but our insurance company doesn't cover it.  It is a bummer that you have to travel half-way across the country but we think Dr. Trotter is worth it and the facility where he does his surgeries is wonderful.  Will you have family members here with you?

Howdy All,

      I am scheduled for a VSG on Feb 10th.  I am trying to lose the weight I gained over the holidays when I indulged in too many "Last Suppers".  My surgery was originally supposed to be in early December but due to financial reasons I had to postpone till Feb.  I went into a bit of a depression over it but now that the surgey is close I am feeling renewed.   Focusing on what I will be eating post-op and getting that together is helping me feel better to the point that my nervousness is to turning to excitement. Of course, I am still plenty anxious.  This is the first time that I have had surgery and stayed in a hospital.  
   It is so helpful to have these wonderful forums that I find so supportive and informative.
Well, January is half over already.  We'll be on the losers' bench in no time.
