Hi Leslie! My date is 19 September as well! It is getting close - but still seems so far away at times! I'm having really odd thoughts and feelings - and wonder if you are too...are you thinking about all the foods your going to miss - and then thinking about them constantly? For instance, I love cheesecake, but don't eat it often (usually if we're on vacation or at a special dinner). Seriously has probably been a year since I've had a slice - but once I thought of it, its like ALL I can think about. I'm trying very hard to resist the urge to go buy one (Olive Garden has a delish raspberry-cheesecake which I could get just one slice of), but its all I can do to NOT. Am I alone in this?? Anywho - I didn't mean to rant. Just wanted to saying CONGRATS on the day and good luck!!

I'm 9-11 also. I can not believe that it is comming soooooo quick.I havent been nervous yet but it is setting in big time now.One week from now we will be packing our bags.WOOOHOOOO

My surgery is in a week, and im starting to get pretty emotional. I have to stay positive and not picture the bad things. Im excited, but sometimes it doesnt even feel like its going to happen so soon..i think it will hit me when im at the hospital at 6 am . My 25th birthday is the 12th, so yay to being in the hospital on my bday!!

Hi Ramona, I 'm also scheduled for the 18th. It will be here before we know it. I feel like I'm being given a 2nd chance to start over and do all the healthy things I should have done before. I hope all goes well with your surgery and I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Take care and good luck.

I'm so excited...only 9 days to show time! Also, getting very nervous and a bit scared. Looking forward to 3 weeks off work, though. Wishing the very best to all of us September 2006 Losers!
