I'm so excited yet also really nervous.  Trying not to think about how 'big' this operation is and the possible 'bad' things that could happen.

Focusing on keeping my eye on the new life ahead and the new me. (which also scares me a little).

Good luck to all of us and look forward to enjoying and sharing this journey with you.

Everytime I read a post of someone's upcoming surgery, I get so excited. I will have mine on 05/07/10. So much runs thru my head because I have read so much on the board..good and not so good experiences. But I know deep in my soul that this is the best thing for me. Good luck with the surgery and enjoy the new you!

Regards,
Teresa

I know what you mean.  I'm right there with you.  Sometimes feel like on information overload and doubts get raised but bottom line I too know this is the right thing for me and will be the best decision.

I start my 2 week liquid diet on 4/28.  When do you?

Our surgeries are so close together lets keep each other posted.

Good luck and stay in touch.

I'm with all of you.  I am May 11th, the surgeon was booked on all Monday's in May.:-)

Starting my LSD on Monday 4/26....

Good luck all...

My date is May 12 as well!!
27 days and counting...My Pre-Op is April 23rd (which consists of a bunch of tests, EKG, Upper GI, blood work, etc).
I'm very very excited! And also very very nervous! I actually had a mental meltdown this morning at work. I think it's from the stress from the job, compiled with stress from this surgery, along with some current health problems I've been having.
Just can't wait to have this surgery, lose the weight and get healthy!!!

My date is also May 12!!!!  I'm right there with you with the nerves and excitement!!!

Congrats on your date!  It's my birthday, so all will go well...that will be my birthday wish this year! I'm jealous for you since I'm waiting for insurance approval and can't set a date yet.

I am wilth you, my surgery is the 17th of May and I am also nervous and excited at the same time,  My daughter just had her surgery and I went through the whole thing with her.  I don't know if it that helped me or hurt me but she is great and busy trying to get used to the new diet and rigamarole surrounding the eating schedule and getting those grams of protein down.  Are you involved with a support group? 

my surgery is the 13th of may and im sooooooooo excited i cant wait. good luck to all of us who will travel this new journey.
