Surgery Date 4/19/04

Finally have my surgery date..4/19/04. I go from being really excited to really nervous. My sister had her surgery 1/04 and has already lost 60 lbs. My cousin had her surgery 2/04 and has lost over 50 pounds. Although I see how well they are doing, I still get nervous from time to time. Asking for any and all prayers for a smooth operation and speedy recovery.

Nancy, congrats on your surgery in just two short wake ups....I too am on the 19th. Thank you so much for posting the weight losses of you family members....WOW!! I am starting to think my co-workers won't recognize me when I return....could I be that lucky? LOL Actually I work with some great folks and I am concerned that they will think I have some serious medical condition..... Good luck on Monday...see you on the losing side!!!! RAE

Good luck with your surgery! I pray you will have a speedy, smooth recovery and become a BIG LOOSER! I am scheduled for 4-19-04, 8:00 am, I am so excited I can't stand it. I am not nervous at all! Good luck!

Nancy I know how you are feeling. I am also scheduled for surgery on 4/19. I am so excited that I just can't wait for Monday to get here. I hope that you have a very successful and non complicated surgery and for everyone else that will be having surgery this month. I am going to say a pray for all of us until they put me to sleep on monday morning. Once again Good Luck to you and all the April LOSERS.

Another April 19th here! I am SO glad that we just have to finish out the weekend before surgery. I don't think I could go through the motions of work and stuff a day longer LOL! I have been keeping busy getting my house in order and set up with everything I will need when I get home. I will say a prayer for all of us to have a swift recovery! Deana

Congrats on your upcoming surgery... God bless and wishing you a speedy recovery.

All will be fine, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. God bless and wishing you a speedy recovery.

I guess we are all having it on April 19-- good luck to everyone on a speedy recovery and quick losses

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR NEW JOURNEY!!!!!!!! RONDA

I also have my surgery tomorrow - 4/19/04. I was originally scheduled for the 14th and was actually at the door of the Operating Room, when the doctor had an unexpected complication with the patient before me and had to cancel my surgery. Talk about disappointing! I had already had my shots and was in my little operating room cap! Anyway, luckily he was able to reschedule me for the 19th, so I only had to wait 5 extra days, but it is really hard coordinating the schedules of my 4 children on such short notice, plus I had already been on a liquid diet for 4 days, and had to do it again. Everything worked out okay and hopefully (fingers double-crossed) my surgery will go off without a hitch tomorrow morning. Best of luck to the rest of you also undergoing surgery today - I'll talk to you again from the "losing" side.
