Surgery Date - Dec 20th

My surgery is scheduled for 20th Dec. Some people are saying that why just before Christmas - But, I say, why not! What a wonderful Christmas present to myself. You know it is so nice to put your actual weight down. When I registered for this site today was the first time I put my actual weight on anything! What a feeling!!!

Merry Christmas! I am scheduled for Dec 21 in Wichita. Guess we'll both have happy days in the new year!

Wichita Falls, TX or Wichita, KS. Just wondering because I am from Lawton, OK. We could have quite the support system here.

Hi Linda: Congratulations! You will have a light Christmas. My date is the 21st Dec. Keep in touch. Deb

My surgery is scheduled for 12/20 too!! YIPPEE!! I am to excited, scared, but excited!! I am sure we will all be chatting it up soon! LOL Jamie

Hi guys..sorry to post again, just a question for yall. Is there something I should be buying or doing or packing or SOMETHING for this now? I am looking for things to do with myself and nothing is really working. What about your pre admission testing? Did anyone go for that yet? What did they do? What are you guys taking with you to the hospital? Can you tell I am over tired ( I work 3rds on a medical/surgical floor at University hospitals of Cleveland..lol) My thing is..I only see the BAD surgeries and I know all the stupid things that can go wrong. I need to keep my mind focused on the positives and know that I will be fine. I keep thinking okay, I have time to do this or that, but it will be here before I know it. Okay, amuse me here for awhile! : ) Jamie

I had some testing when I had my consult with the Surgeon. They did some blood work and an EKG. I am also scheduled for appointments with a Psychologist, Pulmonary Specialist, Physical Therapy, and Dietitian Friday and next Monday. What I am doing to keep busy is busy some of the Crystal Light, etc. that I will need for Post Op. I am also busy fixing my house. I need to keep busy, because it seems like 20 Dec is so far away. I hope this helps some. I will keep you in my prayers. Linda

I'm having mine Dec 20 too! Can't wait to be on the otherside! May God be with you on your journey! Heather Chesnet
