June 9th can't come fast enough.

Finally, I have a surgery date. I'm so ready to begin my new life. I have nutrition class this week and pre-op testing next week. My plan is to stay busy so time will pass more quickly. I'd like to lose some weight prior to surgery, but not sure I can. Wish me luck!

Hey Linda! Good Luck!! I feel the same way, I can't wait to start my new life! I haven't gotten a date yet, but I'm hoping for the first part of june too! I've been aproved for insurance and been to the dietician and therapist and they also approved me. Now to the Dr. again and set the date!! They want me to lose 185 pounds and I've decided to do the gastric bypass lap (I think that's how you say it) I've been told I have to lose weight before surgery, I've already lost 7lbs so you can too if you have too!! Well, I hope to put my surgery date up soon!! Blessing to you, VickyRuth

Congratulations of the 7lbs! That's a great start for when you get your surgery date. I'm having the gastric bypass (RNY) at St Vincent Carmel Hospital, Dr. Diaz is my surgeon. I'll keep an eye for your surgery date posting... wishing you all the best, Linda

Congrtulations on getting your date for surgery you are on your way. I' m still waiting on a date hopefully it will be around the middle of June. I'm having the lapband surgery because it fits better in my lifestyle. I'm also trying to lose some weight before surgery so far I have lost 2lbs you can do it to just have faith and keep your head up. Iwish you the best in your weight loss journey and if you every need someone to lean on just let me know I'm here for you. Hope to here from you soon. A good friend in VA.

Congratulations on your surgery date! It seems a ways off but it happens upon us so fast now it seems. Mine isnt scheduled until the 24th of June and it seems a life time away but I know its just around the corner! Keeping busy it will surely go a lot faster! Good luck and cant wait to see your updates!

Thanks Tina, I had my pre-op and nutrition class today. My brain is now on overload. There was a lot of material covered and in great detail I'm getting just a little nervous now, but still excited. Next Friday is my day of pre-op testing. It is beginning to feel real now...I think it is really going to happen. Can't wait to be on the other side of the weight loss journey. I'll keep you posted.
