EXCITED AND A LITTLE NERVOUS

Well I have been approved and I will be going in next week on TUESDAY to get my booklet and to set the date for the procedure. I am excited and a little nervous. This is going to be a major change. I am being told because of my BMI it's possible for me to be down to my goal weight in six months instead of a year. Which is good but yet a little ... I don't know how to explain it... it's just... odd I guess. 110lbs isn't very much to wiegh I was looking more for 125 or somthing around there and I would be happy but they are telling me that I very well should be about 110 when I get down to my goal. Oohhh words cannot discribe what is floating through my mind. Well the bad news is I won't be on here very often. I am not going to have my interenet. I will however have my cell. I would post in on here but that would be a little risky. Well cross your fingers and wish me luck. THANK YOU If you would like to get in contact with me and would be gracious enough to be my moral support though this pls respond ASAP and we can excange numbers.

Hi Christina, Congrats on the approval. Your emotions are so very normal. Where are you having your surgery? I know some people from Ft. Polk come up here to Shreveport and others go down south somewhere. You can email me and I'll be happy to give you my phone #. Wishing you the best. Jodi

Hi Christina. Congrats on your approval..I don't live very far from you...I am going to Dr. monday as well for my dates, etc...If you need a buddy just e-mail me and we can exchange numbers.. vanessa

Thank you .. um I don't know how to do the faces...

Hi Christina, I have a good friend who had surgery in Lake Charles which is my hometown. If you are still going that route, I can get y'all hooked up. I grew up in Lake Charles and my dad worked at Fort Polk for 26 years so I'm familiar with your current area. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Frances

Yeah the surgury will be in LAKE CHARLES. I could use all the support I can get..

Congratulations and good luck. I'll bet today we'll find out when your surgery date will be!

Congrats on your approval. Nevousness is normal. My emotions where very up and down before surgery. But it's all good in the end. Good luck.

Hi Christina, congrats...I got approved for mine as well. Went to my last appointment today before I set the surgery date. I'm hoping for the week of July 17, at Vista Surgical Hosp in Baton Rouge....just so much at work to prepare for to do it any sooner. I'm feeling the same as you are, excited and a bit apprehensive at the same time. We are embarking on a new adventure, something that will change out lives forever. I know it won't be easy, but nothing that is worth it ever is. Hang in there and keep us posted on your progress! (((Hugs))) Paula C. New Orleans, LA
