Topic: RE: October 27th for me :D
Man, I can totally relate to the "have waited such a long time, but it's now coming so quickly!" I was just thinking that the other day. It's been a long haul, but this month has flown by. I think it's because of my work. I am crazy-busy at work! Trying to get as much done as I can so that my sub won't have to worry about so much. It's not a good time to miss work...Oh well!!! Gotta take care of this girl first! 
So, here's what I've been dwelling on lately: I'm trying to get my bedroom all set up for convenience! Is that too princess-y?! I want to have some new jammies, I'm trying to get the bedroom all cleaned up nice and tidy. Bathroom too... I think cuz I know I won't be able to do it later... I'm also trying to get the food lined up for when I can have mushies. Basically I think I'm just stressing! My surgeon didn't put me on a pre-op. What's up with that? I asked him 2 or 3 times even! Ok, I KNOW I'm stressin now! (rambling...) Good luck everyone!!!

Topic: Surgery date is 11/23
I am brand new to this website and am very excited that the doctor's office called yesterday with my surgery date. I am going to check the posts to find out about other people's experiences.
Topic: Friday Oct. 30 Is My Date!!!!!!
I got my date - Oct. 30th. I am so excited but scared at the same time. I have wanted this for so long. I can not believe that it is finally happening. I am going tomorrow for my pre-op at the hospital to do my labs and talk to anesthesiology. Was hoping for a gastric sleeve but insurance would not approve so am going with a Lap-RNY. I am having surgery with Dr. Beltre at Orlando Regional Medical Center.
Topic: 15 days post op
Okay so this has been a rough 15days but I finally am starting to feel like myself but I'm still very sore! I ended up getting pneumonia the day after surgery so I was in the hospital 4 more days and it's been a huge set back as far as the quick recovery! Then last Friday I managed to pull a muscle in my stomach from SNEEZING and let me tell you I thought I'd herniated my stomach it hurt so bad so that's the main reason now why I'm so sore! But now aside from all of that I'm feeling much better and I'm just now getting on her to post anything. I wish everyone well that's had the surgery so far and for those coming up very soon!
Topic: RE: October 27th for me :D
So far, I'M a bit emotional, however looking for positive comments and don't seem to tolerate ANY negative ones. I'm so excited it's crazy. As far as getting ready for the 'in case' scenario', I had that all taken care of back in July with my lawyer. It's been a long wait, but now it's going really fast lol. I think we also all get the feeling that somekind of obstacle is going to stop us from getting to the finish line (surgery). I certainly sending some positive thoughts your way hoping that everything works out for you.
Cheers & good luck!
Cheers & good luck!

Add me to the Oct. 27th list (RNY for me!) How's everyone doing with pre-op. Are you guys getting the panicky get your life in order just in case feeling I am getting? I am excited, but feeling just a bit paranoid! I have my pre-op tomorrow and maybe will relax after that. So many delays have happened on this path so far, that I will not be half surprised for something to happen tomorrow that will make them wait. I did just get back bloodwork and my triglycerides are awful - I hope that won't keep them from HELPING me!
Topic: RE: Messed Up Pre Op Diet -- PLEASE HELP !
I have to admit I have been wondering this myself. I realize in the perfect world, we would all, well, be perfect. But, we didn't get to this starting point of our Journey because we have great self-control! My Doc requires 2 week Atkins type diet - and I have been trying - but not always perfect. ABout 3 weeks ago I did it perfect for 10 days - and then ended up without the date I thought - so took a couple of weeks off and started over - have to admit I have not been as good this time.
But, I see so many people whose Docs require nothing, or a 3 day liquid diet, that I keep thinking that pretty good for 2 weeks counts for something - right!?
I hope I am not writing here Tuesday afternoon saying it was not good enough!
