Thanks,

Hi...Emily...

Congratulations on your date   I know how excited you must be...I was there just last week...

I am out just 5 days now...so my emotions are still there from before when I was waiting for surgery...now I can't believe that I had it done and over with and I am out 5 days.  It is an AMAZING feeling and I am EXTREMELY happy.

Just go with the flow and make sure you are ready for everything to come so you don't get overwhelmed...You will be just fine...

Best of Luck to you on your surgery and I hope you have a nice and easy and speedy recovery. 

Take Care...

Congrats on having it done with! I am so ready! I was suppossed to have it in July but I had to be 90 days nicotine free and this was the closest date I could since then so I am definitely ready for it to happen!! How are you feeling physically five days out? I see you have lost 23 lbs. from your starting weight! Goob Job!!

My surgery date is the same as yours (October 8th) I am so excited that I don't know if I'm going to be able to wait!  Good luck with your upcoming surgery!

Hi Emily-
My name is Joyce and my surgery is scheduled for October 8th at 10:30am.  I hope that we can touch bases after the surgery to compare notes and be a support for one another.  I'm sure that I will need it.  I need encouragement and advice on this journey as well.
Take care.

my date is oct 8th as well at 730am. all ya have to do is follow your doc's advice and also there is some great advice from the great people on this board.


congrates again!

thanks everyone for replying! i know i am so excited too!! i cannot wait!! i will definitely be contacting you all and seeing how surgery went! mine is at 11:00 central time.  good luck to us with surgery!

Hi, Emily.  I'm having my surgery on Oct 8th also.  All the best to you, it's so close!  I don't have a time yet (will get the day before).  I know you and I are both going to do great.  All the best to you, remember to use your incentive spirometer (did you get one yet?) now and also in the hospital if you're told.  Drink all the water you can now pre-op so you'll be able to handle 64 oz (or whatever your surgeon said) post-op.

Bring a notebook and journal, journal, journal!  Have someone take pictures of you from all angles and save them to put in front (or somewhere) in your journal.  God Bless, Katie

Hi Emily, I'm fairly new here but I want to wish you the best of luck. Due to a recent opening at the doctors office October 8th will be my surgery date also. May everyone's prayers reach us. I'll be thinking and praying for you.
