Omg! Im so happy!

I am having the RNY on March 8, 2007 in lubbock, tx!!!!!! Im soooooooooo excited! Im so ready for this! I can't wait to see how the "new" me turns out!

I have to go to lubbock to see my doctor on February 21, 2007 for all the pre-op tests. I must say when I first heard of this surgery I was skeptical...No lie. But my sister went to the same doctor I am seeing now and if I hadn****ched her the past year and a half....I wouldnt believe it was her standing in front of me! She looks so good!!!!!

Do you attend a support group? I do, and it has helped ease my fears a lot. I have met people in all stages of this process. Every week after group there is a bunch that goes out to eat together, so I would say that yes, you can lead a normal life, but it does take discipline and it will be a big change, especially at first. My surgery date is March 9, but I have been attending the support group for about 2 months already. There are a lot of to go boxes at these dinners, but I have never seen anyone have trouble finding something to eat. Immediately after surgery maybe different, but I think in the long run, for most people... it will be ok. I have a friend who had this surgery 5 years ago who says it is the best decision she ever made. And everyone I have asked in group says they would do it again in a minute. So hang in there, I am sure it will be ok. I can't wait for my day to get here! Yay!

Mine is March 8th, and I know exactly how u feel. I get this nervous jumpy feeling in my stomach whenever I think about the surgery. I keep asking myself "what have I gotten myself into?' but then I think about all the good stuff that I will get to enjoy and how much happier I am going to feel...don't worry at first it'll probably be hell but in the long run it will all be worth it.

Well, my roux-en-y is scheduled for March 9th. My Pre-OP class for February 6th. Things are on a roll..... NOW.... I've decided to get scared. I'm so sick of feeling sick, and dragging this body around. I know I can loose huge amounts of weight , but I can never keep it off. I know if I don't make some permanent alterations and provide myself with a permanent tool for weight loss, I will never keep the excess weight off. I'm an RN....I know the routine.......I know I'll die sooner if I don't get this weight off.....but now I'm getting scared. What's up with that?! I think I'm grieving to some extent. Food has been such a coping mechanism for me. Plus, I worry about how I'm going to anticipate, and get everthing together to keep myself healthy once I do have the procedure. I want to look better. I don't want to look like a pale, ghostly, wrinkled old woman. Is it possible to eat normally, healthfully after surgery? Is it possible to feel really well and full of energy? I don't want to be thin, but feel so bad I can barely function.....Any help out there.....words of wisdom......Thank you!
