Hi I'm new! I have set the date!!! :)

I have the date set for September 12 and am very excited!! I'm a bit anxious about all the pre-op stuff since I don't really know where to start on my own.  So, I'll probably end up going to USC for the tests, I just didn't want to miss that much work and drive all the way there, but oh well :) Is anyone else scheduled about the same time as me?  I'm seeing Dr Katkhouda at USC.  :) Nice to be here, I can't wait to post more once I'm allowed, lol ;) Crysti

Congrats! Get as healthy as you can in the time you have before surgery. Good luck!

Just wanted to say welcome!!

Good for you!  You're on your way!!!

hi, crysti! welcome and congrats on getting your date!!

The Long Beach group who post here gets together the last Saturday of each month for coffee/chatting time at the Starbucks at the Lowes/Kmart shopping center on Bellflower Blvd. near Spring Street.... 10 am...

Hope you can come meet us sometime!

Lori

Congratulations Crysti!!  You will be on the Loser's Bench before you know it!!!! Hugs, Heather

Awww thank you everyone!  I feel loved :) Well I got my Nutritionist appointment set today for July 25th, which I guess is when they send in the paperwork for approval?  I don't understand this.  Why do they make you go through all the tests BEFORE knowing if you're even approved?  I guess I need a manual on how to do all this, lol I'm very excited about the surgery and very anxious too about getting all these things set up.  :)  I can't find a therapist to make an appointment, I've left 2 messages and no call backs.  Can anyone offer any suggestions on where to go?  Anyone in Long Beach? I'm very happy to be here, thank you for all the greetings!  :D

congrats!
