Got My Date....Friday, .October 30th..........YES!

I'm excited & nervous at the same time..........I've waited thru 10 LONG months for this....I actually have shopped the past 2 days since talking with the dr. office.....It feels like my life has been on hold for the past 3 years since I gained the last 100 lbs.   To think that I can actually enjoy my life again is so humbling to me.  Yesterday, I pulled out all of my jewelry & made organizational wall displays inside my closet for my necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and scarves......After gaining so much weight, I had them stored away bcs I only wore the basic hoops, no necklaces, no scarves, no bracelets......Wow....to get HOPE back again is so wonderful!!.  I was a high fashion kind of girl before getting so heavy.  The weight was so embarrassing, I packed my soul away until now....Look out world.....I'm coming back!!!  Aren't we blessed to have this opportunity?  Wow.....        I want to lose this weight, but I NEVER want to forget how it was to be obese.....I'm a better person inside after living an obese life.....much more understanding and sympathetic to those fighting the obesity battle.

i am so happy for you good job 

I am sooo excited for you!!!  Keep me updated on what's going on!  Gosh, you are so close!

Congratulations! Keep me updated! I'm sure you'll do great!

 Hi I am new here and  not sure how to navigate to well. My surgery date is 10/30 as well. Having a Lap - RNY. I am very anxious. I just have so many emotions happy, nervous, excited, scared. I too have gained a lot of weight in the past year. I looked at my medical records a few weeks ago and was shocked that I had gained over 50 lbs. in less than a year. For the past 3 months I have been wearing clothing that only has an elastic waist. I have clothes in my closet that I only wore a few times on our trip to California in the summer of 2008. They just kept getting tighter and I refused to buy a bigger size. I can not wait to fit into them again - comfortably. I am looking forward to shopping with my mom in the regular sections of the stores. Good Luck!!
