Dec 2nd - 1 month countdown begins.

When I was given the Dec 2nd date back in May it seemed like it was a lifetime away. Well, it is one month from today and I am so happy that I had all of those months to educate myself on this life changing procedure. Everything I have read and all of the people I have chatted with on this web-site have all been so positive. Although, I am amazed at the people I have encountered that want to share their 'nightmare' story. I have come to realize that no matter what you have done (including childbirth) there is always someone waiting to share their 'procedure gone bad' story. I've learned to just ignore them. Today, as my date gets closer, I am consumed with the thoughts of my surgery. So far my journey has been very positive. I wi**** was over with.

Hi Teresa, my name is Floretta, and my date is also 12/02/03. Ignore all the negativity that comes your way, and stay prayed up. You'll be just fine. Let's keep in touch, and God bless.

Hello from California! My surgery is also the 2nd. I am having mine in Fountain Valley, Ca. I am so looking forward to this new life. I look forward to sharing this special date in our lives with you and everyone else who will be there with us.

Teresa ~ I too have a December 2nd date and I can't wait! We deserve this, all of us! We will be losers in a few short weeks!! Life is good...think positive! I have been fortunate in my journey as I attended the seminar on September 10th and was approved by October 8th! I have been researching for about a year but only the end of August did I decide this was something I want to do for "me"! I wanted to be sure in my decision, because it is such a life altering choice. I feel secure in my decision and my surgeon. Life is full of risks and obesity is a major risk to our longevity. It will be so wonderful to be able to do the things that normal people do without thinking twice. To have the stamina and desire!! To feel good and healthy!! It's about to happen, this amazing transformation! Can't wait to see you on the losing side!!
