My new birthday!
October 14th, 2005. I will be on my way to becoming a much lighter, much healthier, much happier person.
After many months of research and many months of serious conversations with myself about my need for weight loss surgery the time has come.
I have to say that once I attended the seminar in August, everything has been progressing nicely. Two days after my info was submitted to the insurance company I was precertified for surgery. I have completed required meetings with the dietician and psychologist. I have attended a support group meeting. Had my first office visit. Attended required preop meeting today and tommorrow see the surgeon. Next Thursday I have all my preop testing and will have finished my 5 day protien and clear liquid diet. Friday I will start the 1000cal diet neccessary for the 7 days prior to my surgery which will be Friday Oct 14th.
I have to commend everyone who has been through this surgery already and for those who are anxiously waiting for theirs. I also have to thank everyone who submits to the message board and the surgery support pages for sharing their stories and offering support and prayer to others.
I will do my best to follow in their footsteps. Sher
Congrats Sher! 
My new birthday is 2 days before yours and I can hardly wait 
. We will be on the losing side together 
and it will feel great to lose the weight! 
I know what you mean, I had my first Pre-op consult, everything else just went by quickly, including all of my appointments and support group meetings. My last appointment is scheduled for October 3rd for Pre-op testing and then a week later on a Wed. 6 A.M. is my surgery date! I can't believe that in less than two weeks, I will be on the losing side!
