Hi there Elba.....it won't be long now! Congratulations on your upcoming surgery date. I'm right there with you... I also have a 3/29 date! Take a deep breath Elba and relax...remind yourself of all the very positive reasons you are getting WLS. Best of luck to you as you begin your journey! Let's keep in touch! Angie

Congratulations Elba - it is an emotional roller coaster - just enjoy the ride and think of the good health that awaits you in your future! Best Regards, Tammy

Good luck Elba....You are in great hands with Dr. Bell. He's an amazing surgeon and has a great bedside manner. Hope you have Mike as one of your nurses, he was absolutely fantastic! ~Sue 262/178...shooting for 145

Hey Elba ! Good Luck to you, God bless! I'm right behind you, I go in on April 4th myself and I understand nervous! One thing I'm trying to do is visualization. My therap. told me about it. My biggest fear is the anesthesia -so she told me when I go in to start visualizing myself - after the surgery doing something that I want so desperately to do. Mine is sitting out on my deck by the pool, thinner of course, with my cup of tea at dusk when it's cool outside, the fountain in the pool running, birds chirping, crickets making noise - she also said to try getting the smell of the chlorine - (Ok, so I haven't mastered that part) put it is pretty relaxing. I'm hoping that I can remember this when I get there and take my own advise. Take care, and see you on the losing side.
