9/1/05 Anybody?!?

I am Rene' and I have surgery scheduled for the 1st of the month. I am so excited as I am sure everyone is. Just trying to keep it real until then and not gain weight Best wishes to all in your journey!

I am happy for you. I know that I have made a count down list for thing to do. My biggest fear is that I will get out of surgery and recoup for a while then have nothing to do. I have packed a book, gameboy (with 3 games) and my lap top. I will go crazy if I have to lay in bed!!!!!!!!! GO LUCK. keep posting it will make time go by faster.

Mary Lou, Thanks for the recoup ideas - I too will be bored with nothing to do. I enjoy reading so that will be the thing to do I quess. Good luck to you!

9/1/05 for me too! It's a dream come true. I had a long, hard fight with the insurance, but they reversed their denial and will now be providing benefits for me, so I will be having my surgery on the first of September. It's even more special because September 4th is my birthday...what a gift I will be getting! But no birthday cake for me! Best of luck to everyone! Joni

Hello Joni - It is sooooo hard to wait, but at the same time it is coming so fast. How wonderful to be having a birthday at your surgery time. It will be like being reborn! Good luck and best wishes! Rene'

Hi Rene', I'm in exactly the same boat you are. We are both September 1st. We have 16 days left to go... cant wait. Good luck w/ everything. Angie

Hi Angie - Good luck to you also and keep in touch if you'd like! Rene'

I'm scheduled for September 1st also! I had my pre-op appointment today and start my liquid diet today as well. I am still so excited, but beginning to get sooo nervous as well. But all I have to do is come onto this web site and look at all of the before and after pics or read some of the profiles and I feel so much better. I know this is going to be sooooo worth it in just a few months time! Alicia P. Current weight: 305 Goal: 150

Hello Alicia - Right now I am soooo impatient! I am busy at work so it keeps my mind off of it a bit. It is amazing the different things each of us have to do before our surgery. I don't have a liquid diet pre but am wondering what you will be taking for this. Take care and we are on the count down! Rene'

I changed my date, so now I'm going to have my surgery on August 25th! I am so excited, then I realized, I'm not going to be on the September board anymore! Oh no! However, I am so excited to be having this surgery finally and getting to have it one week sooner is so awesome! Part of me regrets that I will be home and settled by my birthday on September the 4th, but hey, I will have lost one more week's worth of weight, so that will be a good present too! The best of luck to everyone, no matter when your surgery is! The important thing is having the date and the approval! Hugs, Joni
