I got my date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This has been soo long in coming that I am almost numb. I don't feel any real elation or depression just Oh okay. Is that normal? I have a feeling that I am gonna be really nervous before it is over. I have already started some pre op testing. I go the 4th for more and the 5th. My date pending approval from the co-ordinator is April 25. That also depends on the psyhc eval getting back in time. I won't get to take it until the 19th. I am so ready formy life to change and to face the world

Congratulations! I don't know that there ever is a "normal" - mostly just a normal for you. I'm glad that you've gotten your date and are going forward. AT

Congrats on your date... Feelings will go from numb to what the heck am I doing between now and your date... i flipped out in Sam's club last week, standing in the frozen isle... you know with the fried mozzerella, pizza and all those yummy prepackaged things and litterally started crying... I was afraid I couldn't have any of the foods I love ever again... well, my best friend, a baker and amazing pastry chef no less, told me these words.... "you can have them again, just not now... and not the whole damn package." It was a revelation of sorts.. and I was not carted away by security... "clean up in aisle 7, hysterical fat girl..." So I came home, ordered a bariatric cookbook online and am again looking forward to this adventure... Hang in there... there's tons of support here on the board!! Susan
