This is my first post on this forum. My surgery is one week away (12/30/10)...excited and nervous about the prospect of changing my life for the better. My surgeon is Dr. Charley Proctor, Jr (Obesity Solutions in Gainesville, GA) and my surgery will be at Northeast Georgia Medical Center. I am scheduled at 11:30am. Everyone send positive vibes my way that day please!

Hey April,

Positive Vibes sent! Glad to see you posting. I see you've been a member since 2004, so I know this has been a long journey for you. It was for me too because my insurance didn't cover it at first. But, waiting all that time makes me appreciate my new life even more.

I am sure everything will go well for you with the surgery and recovery. Just check in with us when you get home if we can help with anything.

Have a very merry holiday. This will be the last one at this size. Take lots of pictures!!! I know it's gonna be hard doing the pre-op diet with food everywhere this weekend, but you can do it! Just think about skinny jeans every time you are tempted.

Cheers,

LaShelle

Thanks so much for your reply! Yeah this time of the year isn't a good one to be on a liquid diet, but I know it's important so I am sticking to it! Will definitely check in after surgery :)

Congratulations!! I am officially 5 weeks out from surgery myself. Dr. Richard at Obesity Solutions did my surgery and I am very pleased with my progress. The Liquid Diet wasnt sooo bad... I actually lost 66lbs on mine lol

You are gonna be fine!! I loved NE GA Medical Center. They were very attentive to me!!! I am sure your journey will be a good one!! God Bless!!

PS. if my tracker shows 66lbs thats incorrect....I am really down 101lbs total yayyyy me !!
