To everyone one having their surgeries this month

I am from the September board and everyone on our side has successfuly had their surgeries and are all on the losing side. I wanted to wish everyone the best. I am now 5 weeks out and feeling pretty good other then a few issues with addding solid foods. The liquids get a little monotonous but just when you think you can't take another day of cottage cheese the time will come to add something new into the mix. I wish everyone great success with their weight loss. If at any time anyone here needs a little help or some ideas on what's going on please feel free to stop by the September board. We are all a great bunch of people and are always willing to help anyone out when they need it. I wish you all a speedy recovery.......... Shannon

Welcome to the Thin Ten (October) Board! What a nice post! Most of out wls graduates are in the midst of recovering so we've had very few posts re: life on the other side. Please come back and continue to update us on your progress. ~Toni

Hi Shannon. Nice to hear from someone that has already done this. I am having my surgery tues, 12th and I can't explain how excited and nervous I am. I do know this is the biggest step I have ever taken but I am confident it is the right one. Just as long as I don't hyperventilate before I get there. haha Thanks for being there. Carol

Hi Shannon, Thank you so much for giving us that extra bit of support. I, most likely, will be taking you up on that offer and coming to your board with my concerns. I think asking questions of post-ops that still have the feelings fresh in their minds will help a lot! Thanks again Shannon. I am happy to hear you are progressing nicely! Have a great day! Amber

I will be having my surgery on October 28,2004, I have learned so much from reading the posts.
