Out of the shadows... I have a date!

Hi to All,

Several years ago I was referred to the Weight Wise clinic to help me lose weight and maybe get off some medications. I have attended the modules and slowly some weight has come off. Back in the fall it first came up as to whether I actually wanted the surgery or not. That is when I heard about this website and I started to look at these forums. I decided to go for it and today I got THE CALL! So I'm booked in for the sleeve with Dr. Karmali on June 2. WOW! I am scared and excited both at once. I now may become a "regular" here looking for advice and guidance from all of you.
Maybe I will have a "surgical partner"... is anyone else scheduled for the same day or week?
Thanks to everyone here for helping me make up my mind to take this next step to improving my HEALTH.

Katie

Congrats on your date! Hope to 'see' you around here more...no more lurking!!! LOL

I think that sixfootkat has a date on the first of June so you might have a surgery buddy in her!

Congrats again and good luck! My date is May 18th...approaching so very fast! I cannot wait, but of course I am scared that I won't have lost and they will cancel me. I just have to stay the heck away from that scale and not stress because whatever happens happens and I believe that all things happen for a reason:)

Thank you for the warm words of welcome. Relene- why does it say you only want to lose 22 pounds? That can't be right. But I haven't even tried yet to put on a fancy weight-line. I am quite computer-challenged. Usually I get one of my kids to help me with any "extras". That's because I grew up in the Olden Days- BC.-- Before Computers. It's good to be part of this board and feel the 'good vibes" from others.

It says that because I set small goals so that the big outcome doesn't look so intimidating. It is easier to lose 22 lbs than 222!
