October 28

Hi, all just found the October 2005 board. I am always a little late. My surgery is this Friday. It seem unreal. I keep saying this Friday is my new start. Sometimes I was so scared and other at peace. Please tell me this is "normal" Are their any other Oct 28 babies out there?? Maybe we can compare notes. Thanks, Dolores

Dolores, those feelings are SO NORMAL. I'm the same way. Most of the time, feel OK about what's to come; occasionally I feel so jittery I don't know what to do. I keep reminding myself why I made the decision to do this: I want to live a long, long time, and I want them to be good years, not years spent dealing with heart attacks, diabetes, and the aches and pains associated with being obsese. I'll bet you feel the same way! Good luck to you. Sheryl

Hey Dolores!! I am also having surgery on the 28th!! The surgeon's office called me today and said they just recieved my approval letter today via email and set me up for this Friday!!! Talk about fast!

Hey you can chase me down the halls. I'm on the 27th. and yes it is very normal. I have been working toward this for 2 years and now i cannot decide if I am excited or terified. God bless Deb

AFTER BEING ON SKY-HIGH EXCITEMENT FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, I'M NOW CONTENTED & CALM ... BUT THEN, I'M NOT ONE TO FEAR ANYTHING ... TOO STUBBORN! MY MOM SAYS I'M "DETERMINED", & THAT MAY BE ... BUT "STUBBORN" IS IN THERE SOMEWHRE! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

I am also having my surgery on Oct. 28th, I was having it on the 27th but was changed to the 28th. I was nervous a few weeks ago when I got my surgery date, but now I am also at peace. I am more scared of living the rest of my life the way I am living it. I am just trying to make it through each day and not really enjoying anything in life. I know the road will not be easy, but I feel I am ready. Hope everything goes well with your surgery. Take Care, Susan
