New to Join - Just got my date!

I just joined this website and would love some feedback. I just got my date - December 13th! I'm very excited and VERY nervous and would love to discuss with someone. Thanks!

Congrats on your date Jacque! I am going 7 days before you. We're almost surgery twins! ~~Jaimee

So you getting nervous yet? I'm so curious to hear how other people are feeling & what they are thinking. Its hard to get too excited because it seems so far away.

Congrats on your date. I am having surgery December 15. I am eagerly waiting!! Good luck.

Has it really hit you yet? I'm really nervous, but mostly because I haven't started any of the pre-op appointments yet. I don't start until November, so it still doesn't fell like its really going to happen yet.

It ha**** me. I have been scheduled about 3 years ago and did not go through with the surgery. I feel now I am ready. I will start my pre-op in November also. I also feel sometimes it won't happen but I know it will. I am ready. I go through a wide range of feelings but that is normal. Just trust in your decision!

Hi Jacque, Welcome. You will love this website. I just joined a few months ago and found it to be very informative. My date is scheduled for December 9th. I just finished all of my preop appointments sleep apnea, psyc eval, ultra sound, EKG and Nutritionist. Now the waiting really begins. I have no appointments in October. And have a weight check with the Doc on Noveber 15th, so I am trying to stay on my best behavior!. The my last appointment is the preop meeing with surgeon and anastesiologist (sp) on November 30th. to me this is the second hardest part so far. The first was waiting for a date. Best of luck to you!

I just joined too, and have my date set for December 6, 2004. I am excited but dont think it ha**** me yet that I will be thin this time next year!!!! My preop is scheduled for November 15, until then I am starting a countdown. Good Luck!!!!

Looks like we do this together, my date is December 13th also!! I too am thrilled, but aprehensive about how much time needs to pass so I don't want to allow myself to get too excited. I don't have any pre-op dates set yet. This website is a wealth of support and knowledge.

I schedule my first "pre-op appointments for next Monday. Nothing too surgery related, but needed. Ultrasound of the gallbladder and a yearly exam. Totally not looking forward to the yearly, but at least it will seem like I'm doing something to get ready for the surgery! Also, I ordered a bunch of books to calm my nerves. I devoured one book in one day! I am so thirsty for knowledge!!! I have three more coming so hopefully it will keep me excited. I am tired of hearing the horror stories from friends though. What a downer!!!
