Hiiiiiiiiiii ... I'm new here and I have a date!!

Hello future fellow weight loss peeps, Ya'll have to excuse me... I'm a lil' !! I'm ing cause I finally found this board!! Thanks to my pal Kimberly Grimme She told me the and now! Here I am! Let's ... I love these cute things,lol. Anyhooooooo ... my date's JULY 12th!! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Like all of you, I'm scared, excited, EXCITED, nervous and EXCITED! I read someone's quote earlier that read, "Nothing tastes better than being skinny!" ... Ohhhhhhhhhhh, how I agree! I was on my way to my pre op appt last Thursday and was once again bartering with God to give me "just one more sign" I was making the right decision. And, of course, he did! July 12th would have been my 19th wedding anniversary. Soooooooooooo, now I have a wonderful day to replace a bittersweet memory. Divorce does that, ya know? I'm having RNY-Lap and Dr. Kenneth Cleveland will be performing my surgery. That's another sign! I was supposed to have another surgeon but was reassigned to Dr. Cleveland I look forward to chatting with all of you ... as I can't seem to get ANYTHING else done at this point. Oh, well ... I do mark the days on the calender now I also attend local support groups (which I love!) and talk incessently about this surgery. Other than those things ... I'm pretty much useless right now Hugzzzzzzzz, Kimberly

Welcome to July, my date is the 13th. I'm pretty much useless too. My sign everyday that I get is the fact that I can't bend over like I used to.... I keep telling myself that I'm not going to talk about it anymore. Does it work? Absolutely Not!!!

I'm glad you found us Kimberly! Everyone here is great and it's nice to "talk" with people who feel the same as you. I know what you mean about getting things done! Every thought seems to come back to this surgery. I hope I can get through the next 3 weeks at work!! I also do that "sign" thing!! I think I do it because the whole approval process went (almost too) smooth and I was expecting bumps. I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop, you know? Like it was a mistake or something. I try not to think that way but old habits die hard. Anywhoo, sorry for babbling and Welcome! Tina

Hello Kimerly! It's nice to meet you. I wish we all could be in the same room talking that would really be great! No one here at my home seems interested in talking with me. I haven't been able to attend a support meeting yet, they have them 1x a month and I missed it for this month. I'll be there for the next one. Welcome to the board!

Glad to know I am not the only one who CANNOT stop blathering on about the surgery. All I want to do all day every day is talk about it -- read these boards -- post on these boards... and the lather, rinse, repeat.

Thanks to all of you for responding to my post! I wish we had a place to chat too! That would be so fun ...lol.

I feel like a possessed person. I have to force myself not to keep going on and on at work. I have a very positive atmosphere here. The ex of one of the gals had wls, and the sister in law of the boss-both doing well-lots of energy (well the ex had enough energy to find someone else, but that is another story) I don't have much of a family support so I spend a lot of time on these boards. I love this one, because you all know exactly what I am feeling and going through. 33 days...wow!! I know it will go and will be (Put those in there for you)
