Topic: I HAVE A SURGERY DATE!!
I am SO excited I cant believe it. After my long wait of 4 yrs and an all day process today...I finally have a surgery date for my gastric bypass! Saw my surgeon Dr. Jan at Good Samaritan today in Portland and all is a go for June 24th! It could have been June 10th and I was so excited and telling them yes yes yes...until I stopped myself and realized I have a new little granddaughter due June 5th and she may or may not be here! I dont want to miss her delivery at all.. even though I want my surgery asap! So I told them to pu**** down a couple a weeks..then hopefully my grandbaby will be here.. plus my 5 1/2 yr old granddaughter who lives with me will be out of school and will have had her birthday party the 20th. Then it will be my time and I wont miss a thing! I'm excited but nervous and cant quit eating today for some reason. I think my stomach heard and has said lets get all we can while we can! I hope surgery goes all goes good.. I cant wait to see what happens! I know weight loss is a struggle no matter what.. but i'm going to make this work!! Dr. Jan talked to me about the lap band also...but I told him I wanted it to be permanate since I've had a problem with weight my whole life and he said there is no reason I couldnt have the RNY. I sure hope I made the right decision! One year from now.. I cant wait to see what I will be doing, what I look like and what I will be wearing!! Good Luck to the rest of you due to have surgery as well!!

my date is 6/10 ive never had anyone metion anything about medifast what is it ? and why do you have to take it ? they have told me that after surgery i will have to be on just luquid diet for a week mabey 2 weeks i assume you would be the same so why would they have you on nothing but shakes for 30 days before surgery ? that sounds harsh good luck and god bless frank

Topic: RE: HAve you ever...
I so understand. I have a 7 year old son that I would hate to leave. My surgery is scheduled for June 2nd. I have wrote letters to all of my loved ones and placed them in my lock box. I am doing this so my son can see health is important. I am scared to death as well. I also went on suzieorman.com and did my will and all that stuff (only $10) I want to be prepared. Let me know how you do. We will be going through everything at the same time. Good luck and God Bless
Topic: Started Medifast.....Surgery 6/6/08
So I started medifast yesterday. It's probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I'm just trying to take it one day at a time. 2 days down and 28 to go. 5 shakes a day absolutely no food or they'll postpone my surgery. If anyone has any helpful tips to help me get through it, I'd great appreciate it. I just keep telling myself it'll be worth it in the end.
