Topic: It's finally going to happen!
Hi Gang!   Just got the news from my surgeon's office - August 10th is the big day!   Funny I've been harping since the first of June about having a date and now that it's official the nerves are staring to kick in!  LOL. 

Peace

Topic: Also on August 3
Hello, All.  I recently found this site and forum, but have never posted.  My surgery date -- for RNY -- is next Monday, August 3.  I'm feeling a bit of anxiety (mostly of the positive kind), but much less so about the surgery than about the huge changes in lifestyle and behavior that this surgery will require.  Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to the day.

I live in Western North Carolina, near Asheville, My surgery will be done at Mission Hospital by Christopher Edwards. 

I've been astounded -- and delighted -- by the many resources available on the Web, and I've started tapping into them.  It's impressive how many people are blogging about their surgeries: pre-op and post-op, and I'm finding these helpful and inspirational.  How much harder it must have been for someone having WLS 10 years ago, before many of these tools were available.  It must have been a much lonelier experience.

I look forward to both learning and sharing on this site.  Best wishes to anyone having his or her surgery next week.
