WOOOHOOO

After what has seemes like and eternity, I finally have my surgery date! I will be going under the knife on May 24th which is a Tuesday. I was soooooo excited when I got the date but since then fear has taken over. I know that I will be fine but I am sure everyone has had or will have fear of the unknown. You can read untill you are blue in the face but does it really prepare you for what is about to happen? What do you think my chances are for being out of the hospital by that Friday. Wish me luck =o)

Congratulations Heather. I am scheduled for May 5th. I am so excited too. Gretchen

That is awsome Gretchen! Let me know how it goes. Which version are you getting?

Heather my date is May 2nd and I'm having pretty much the same feelings, however I am more excited now than anything. I have faith in God as he has led me to this surgery and will help me get past it. My support system is also really good I have an awesome family...only thing is they live across the country but my Mom and my grandma will fly in to be with me the two weeks after surgery *smiles* have I mentioned how great they are?? I think support might be the most important thing for me now. feel free to email me if you'd like. [email protected]

I'm right there with ya! Took me ALMOST an entire year, but I got my date today - a week before you on the 17th. I'm feeling the same way, excited, but scared, too! If you're having LAP, you should be out by Thursday if everything goes well.

Hi Heather, Congrats!!!!! Are you having open or Lap?? My dr says 2 days for lap and 4 days for open(hospital stay) I am having my open on May 3rd a tuesday so they say I should be going home that friday. Hope that helps. Brandi 293lbs 43 bmi 5/3/05 open RNY
