Sept. 15th

Only 13 days away!!! My journey has gone by really quick, which I started the end of May.  August was a very very long month though, ughh.  Thankfully it is over.  I am very excited to be having surgery.  I have some anxiety kicking in though.  I am not sleeping very well now and will probably have to take my ambien and valium to start relaxing and keep myself from getting sick or going insane.  I have met a few ladies on here from my area who are also having surgery right around the same times I am.  One of them we will be having surgery the same day, same doc. Is it Sept. 15th yet?

wait until its less then 5 days away boy ooh boy do you start to get a little crazy ... .and sleep what is that i have not sleep through the night for about 3 days now i keep waking up ... i guess my body want to get it over with ...

My date is the 15th, too, bic, and I'm going nuts thinking about it. I can't decide whether to be excited or terrified. I just want it to be done already!  Good luck, and I'll be thinking about you!

Much luck with your surgery as well Perry!!  I am ready for it to be done with for sure.  But not long and we will be on the losers side :) 

I have my surgery on Sept 15th also, I wasn't nervous until I was told to start the 2 week liquid diet. This is really real.


Good luck!!!

I am right there with you - surgery is scheduled for 9/15/08......and now it is 9 days and a wake up - away.  I am slotted for surgery @ 7:30 am, which requires me to be there at 5:45 am.  Though I probably won't get any sleep the night prior, I have made reservations at a hotel in WIlmington, NC for my mom and me (she is so wonderful for being my support so my husband can maintain the house and the kids).

I started this journey almost two years ago, as far as doing all my research.  I didn't get serious until mid-May and I can't beleive it is almost here.

I am very excited too....

Please keep me poste don how everything works out....

Alright, Susan, Pinky, and Bic!  I'll be thinking about all of you a week from Monday. My surgery is the third one of the day, so I won't need to be at the hospital until 9:30am.  I don't know you guys, but it's comforting to know that I'm not alone--even if you're all spread out all over creation!

Wow, so many differences in what we all have to do.   I only have to be on a liquid diet for 2 days prior to surgery and I am scheduled to be 2nd in line, but I have to check into the hospital at midnight before my surgery.  I live 3 hours away from where I will be having surgery so I have booked the whole week at a local hotel for hubby to stay and then when I get out of the hospital 4 days later, I will be staying an extra 2 days as recommended by my surgeon, just incase I have any problems since there is no one in my area experienced with this surgery. 

I will definitely be thinking of all of you! 

I too, will be thinking of you on the 15th.  My daughter in law is having surgery in Bismarck at St. A's that same day but is not WLS.  I am in the waiting stage to see if I am "accepted".  I don't even know until I see Dr. Bruderer what type of bariatric surgery I will be having.  Good luck to you and am anxious to see how you made out !

It is really nice to know I will have you all doing the WALK, WALK, WALK, SIP, SIP, SIP with me on the 15th. I won't have a time until the 12th, luckily the hospital is only 15 minutes away from me so I can stay at home until it's time. I was going to say "luckily I can sleep in my own bed until it's time", but we all know we WON'T be getting much sleep on the 14th.

I'll be thinking good thoughts for all of you during our wait.
