I am having RNY on 8/3/09.  I am sooo scared!!!  AHHHHH

Hello "August 3rd,2009 WLS Candidates"
May all of you have a great weekend and stay focus!! Don't be to nervous because we all pick doctors that we felt comfortable with  and will be great for our WLS. This is the time where we start to like ourselves and say "Hey I am doing this for....Me"
Best Regards,

I am an August 3rd RNY "baby"!  I have heard of others referring to their surgery date as their "surgery birthday" and I like the idea.  I'm very excited for my surgery.  These next two weeks can not go by fast enough.

Good luck to you Wayne.

I am having a DS surgery in Kettering (Dayton) Ohio, on August 3, 2009, as well!  I am so excited for everyone!

Quick question....

I fought REALLY hard for my DS surgery.  Now that I am approved, and so very close... I am starting to feel... well... kinda depressed and sad.  What the heck is this about?  I know that this is what I NEED.. and want...  guess I am just anxious.

I feel nervous about losing my 'shield' (fat) that has protected me for so long....

Hey I feel the same way!! I guess all these years we thought and acted to things the same way over and over but failed . However, the WLS will be a tool to help us change our outlook about ourselves to a positive point. Nevertheless, change is a difficult journey... but it starts with the first step. Stay strong and Good Luck!!

I am August 3rd also.  3 days into liquid diet and starving!!  need some inspiration!  must need to drink more water because the headaches are starting.
one thing that is helping is the chicken and beef broth. i like soup and eat it alot so the act of using a spoon helps tremendously.  but it is just a lot of sodium! 

so excited for everyone!!!  yeah :)

Day one for my Liquid Diet!!!  Yummy!!!lol Hang in there; it will be over soon !!! Good news, I just got info that I have been approved by my insurance company (GHI) for my LapBand surgery! The game is on!! One day at a time!!
