heya!! i'm a june 14ther!! =D i'm so excited but nervous at the same time

Hi - I'm meeting with my surgeon for the first time soon, and expect a surgery date sometime in June (if not June, it's going to have to wait until August). At any rate, I now feel l'm in the final stretch. No more *****footing around --- I have to GET READY now!

Of course, I've done the required meeting with a nutritionist, the pre-op classes (except for the final just-before-surgery one), the psych eval, and the appts with the bariatric doctor. I've read many WLS books and have spent a lot of time on this site during January and February (March was a bit of a haitus). Now, I have to make sure everything they've recommended is in place and ready to go.

I'd like to plan for "getting ready" over the next six weekends (I'm basically worthless for getting anything done during my workweek). Have any of you guys seen or created a "count-down" checklist or something along those lines?

I know that about two weeks before surgery, I have to start following some kind of surgery-prep diet. I'll also have to get various lab tests. I plan to refresh my will and advanced directives and put all my papers "in order." We've got to purge the pantry of the "bad" foods & set up the blender in the kitchen.  --- This is all floating around in my mind, without any order to it, and I feel I've got about 12 days (six weekends) to get my act together.

Please, if you're more methodical than I'm feeling right now, would you share your plan?

Thanks!

 June 29th here!   Its kinda far away but Im still happy!

CONGRATS JUNE SURGERIES 

I was fine with everything until now..............now that is set I am getting nervous. Not about the new lifestyle or the challenge of it.  But it is the actually surgery.  I watched a live procedure on orlive.com but that didn't help.  The last surgery I had, I had a very difficult time waking up, maybe that is the problem.  But finally a surgery date!
