I am having up and down days.  One minute I am all for it and next I walk around thinking, 'what aqm I doing'?  Don't get me wrong I am going through with it.  DH tried to bribe me with a new car, not to get the surgery.  I asked him if he was joking?  He said, 'I'm just scared'.

I am trying to keep busy getting into a routine.  We just bought a house and we finally have everything put away, etc. 

Sorr I have to take off DH just got home.  I will write more later.

first off who is DH?? sorry I am an old fart... my kids always screw me up with codes bff etc.. LOL.. listen... i would take the new car and then say honey... i think i will go thru with the surgery..sorry.. love ya...hahaha

no seriously.. i would do that but if you are set on changing your life for the better go for it.. i was raised a "strict" catholic.. i mean i am spanish but very americanized, raised in brooklyn ny.. and my mom got us up for 9 am spanish mass every freaken sunday and catholic school et c.. so i do have faith in a "god" now adays its more like a higher power or universal being.. but i do know that someone/something out there is looking out for me and i know i will do well.. i know i will get out of surgery with flying colors and so will you.. we are all scared, we are all worried and trust me we are all second guessing our choices, but life is all about risks and i chose to make this risk a lifelong "better" at least for my life.. i am sure you will do well

keep in touch and take care hun..

DH mean 'dear husband'

Hi. My WLS date is Dec. 1, also.  I'm having second thoughts too.When I have trouble getting around or doing something simple it reminds me, why am I having second thoughts.  LOL  I can't wait.  I went to get my hair done few weeks back, very nice thin  hair dresser. I told her I was on waiting list for WLS.  She said oh really, I'm 6 years post op.  WOw, I couldn't even tell, she was in her 40s...she gave me hope..

I am having my roux-en-y December 1st also.....I am VERY nervous.  Never had surgery before.  It will all be worth it though.....right? LOL!

how long has everyone been waiting?  I just got started in this adventure....

By the time I have my surgery it will be seven months.  But my surgeon said it averages between 3 to 6 months with her.  Also it depends on your insurance.  I had to change surgeon due to some issuses so my time has been a bit longer.  Every day is differe4nt for me some days I am all fror it and ready to go and others, well lets just say a bit nervous.  I have had four surgeries this past year so i know I will do fine.  I am glad to know I will have some friends going under the knife on the same day.  Now I will have you all to relate with.  See if we all progress in recovery the same etc.

 I started my journey is late January of this year.  My insurance company required 6 month evaluated diet and then they denied me the first time (which I hear is very common) and then it took the Dr.s office almost 2 months to file my appeal.....I am having surgery on December 1st....so it was about 10 months for me.  BUT I could have had my surgery sooner - I just needed time....its all so scary! Hope that helps!
