Yes, thank you all for sharing. I'm sure you all can remember the angst, nervousness, fear, excitement, 
etc... you felt prior to surgery. I know I'm certainly feeling that, September 7th can't come fast enough
. Thankfully I've had a busy August, 2 weddings and a trade show, and boating season is upon us. All that plus work, my workouts (focusing on getting strong prior to surgery, walking every day I can, plus water aerobics and weight lifiting 3 times per week), preparing for another school year and getting everything in order (the house, paperwork, etc...) prior to surgery. It's all helping the time pass. I can now say that I am less than a month from surgery, woo hoo!!
Anyhow, we really appreciate your expericence and words of wisdom!! I hope we all have a very successful surgery and quick recovery in the month to come!

Debbie,
What helped me with the time thing was making a list and checking it...again and again and again. It helped too that I was not offically approved by my insurance company until about a week prior to the scheduled surgery. My surgeon was quite sure I would be approved and just scheduled surgery. So, Calling the insurance company and talking with them every day helped. I also was working full time ( I live overseas) and had just moved in July so I had a lot to deal with just getting settled into a new community. Do the list thing... and best wishes for your upcoming surgery. Jacqueline

Sharon,
I know exactly what you mean. It seems like such a long way off, but hopefully the time will go fast. Hang in there.

It was very kind of all the 9/2005 losers to post your words of wisdom, encouragement and support to the 2006 soon-to-be-losers! Thank you - much appreciated!
My surgery date is 9/12. Any idea on how to make the time go faster? LOL

Hi ELISA, thank you for the post. First, it is totally and completely normal to be scared. I don't know why I wasn't -- maybe I was too dumb!! But I know it's a normal feeling.
Yeah, food was, and still could be, my best friend. Always there for me, never judging me, always making me feel better -- at least while I was consuming. After, I felt awful.
You'll do fine Elisa, and of course I want to come and see you in the hospital. And I will save my 18, 16s for you since you are nice and tall like me (well taller than me). then you won't have to buy anything, except you will probably want to just cause it's exciting!!
And my feeling -- I am sorry that I could not lose weight by 'dieting', I wish I could have, but I couldn't, and I wasn't going to waste anymore time trying!!
love
donna
