My surgery is on the 6th. I thought time was going to creep, but it has flown. I went through phases of doubt, anxiety, what ifs... but now I'm totally ready. I want Tuesday to get here so I can begin a new life. I know there will be pain, possible complications and a lot of highs and lows, but it's GOT to be better than this! Looking forward to being on the losers bench. How about you?

My surgery is set for  Tuesday too, I had a date since last week but it didnt't really sink in till today when I got a call from the hospital with instructions and the time I am to go into surgery, I guess I was still worried my Inusrance would call at the last minute and say that they changed thier minds and I am no longer approved. That has been the majority of my freak outs, worrying about my insurance and work trying to get caught up and letting people know where to pick up while I'm gone, the last thing I want is to go back to work with a desk full for work. Good luck to all of us!!!

I'm going in on the 6th for lap-band. Two more days on protein shakes - everyone says this is the worst part. I wish you all well and can't wait to hear about our successes over the next few months. Hang in there!

My surgery is not till July 19Th. Having sleeve. I AM SCARED. Not about after the surgery or the pain i might have. I am scared to go to sleep to have the surgery. I want this surgery and have been jumping threw hoops for a year now.

I wi**** was over with and I could be talking about how great it is.
My surgeon gave me the tool. Now it is up to me to use it right.

I am 21 days from surgery and just like everyone else I am freaking out.  My surgery is set for the 26th.  I'm a single mom and my son is only 2yrs old.  He's a real mama's boy.  He often sneaks from his bed to mine in the middle of the night, always says I'm the best, a true cuddle-bug.  I won't be able to hold him for more than a week.  He's a big boy, weighing 34lbs he's tall too, 95% on height.  But I will not be able to lift him for about 2 or 3 weeks depending on how everything goes.  I'm having the RNY.  My primary reason for the surgery is to be a better and healthier mom.  The time apart is going to be the hardest.  He is going to stay for a friend from July 25th through Aug 1st.  She has promised to bring him for visits both to the hospital and the house.  I trust her, but it doesn't mean I won't miss my Leo.  He doesn't understand which is also part of the reason for doing t now while he's too young to know what's going on.  I swear he's going to think he was adopted when he's older since there are so few pictures of us together.  There might be 10 pics since his birth and there is only 1 of my being pregnant.  Obviously I'm rambling, but the point is yes I'm freaking out too.

Yes! I am busy being super-excited one minute and freaking out the next. I have 2 weeks and 2 days until surgery and I am starting my pre-op diet today, which makes it seem even more real. I have given up pop (which has been tough!), though, so I am feeling like I might actually be able to get through this pre-op diet. I hope this two weeks is the fastest of my life.
