19 August is my date!

I am a new comer to this board......I have been reading for some time now and thank all of you for helping me to make the decision to have WLS. My husband started looking into this over a year ago and now I am getting it done before him!! My surgery will be done in Manhattan. I live on Long Island, but I believe Dr Roslin is worth the drive!!! I tried to get my post-op testing done today, but they were all in a freenzy so I got my UGI and chest xray complete and will go back tomorrow for an EKG and blood work. I don't seem to have as much information as a lot of you do. I just made the decision to do this, saw the doctor the next week, and was scheduled for surgery 4 weeks later. I am still going through all the paperwork that talks about post op food and instructions. I feel as if I have done more homework then I did the whole semester of college last Fall!!! Oh well...it will be worth it!! Thanks in advance for all the suppport...I can't wait to chat with ya'll! Donna

Donna , good luck with your surgery!! and congrats!!!!!! Ill be right behind ya Yeepie!!!!! sheree

Donna congrats to you....It will be here in no time. Best wishes your way! Dana Cool

Well Donna, my surgery is Aug 16th and it isn't coming fast enough. I have only been on here for about a week or so and its WONDERFUL. All the support is here, we all know what it feels like and we can talk about it. I am in Indiana...so it appears we will become losers together! Good luck!!!

2 more weeks for you!!! I bet you are excited!! I hope your procedure is totally uneventful! As for me...my surgeon put me off until Sept 19th because of scheduling problems...oh well...more time to pack for our move into a new house!! I certainly can't afford to become negative right now. I will wait to hear how you did.. good luck! Donna
