Countdown - Two More Weeks!
Can't believe I'm only two weeks away from getting my surgery. I'm nervous and excited at the same time! It feels like it is taking forever since this is all I can think about. I have my class tomorrow with the team to discuss life after surgery. My friend and I are getting different type surgeries but are going to the same Dr. She is getting hers a week before me. Wish we could have gotten it done on the same day. My hubby will be there with me though.
That's great that your friend is having surgery also - you'll be able to help each other so much. And your hubby's support will be invaluable, as well the insight and knowledge gained from the board.
You're in good hands - you picked a GREAT doctor!!
Hugs,
Tia
THANKS EVERYONE!!
There are actually 4 of us that are getting surgery. 2 of us are getting the VSG ( one had hers on 4/2) one gastric bypass and one lapband. They are getting their surgery next Tuesday and I am getting my VSG the following Tuesday. We all went to High School together and communicate on a daily basis. We have our own little support group!
Take care!

It's not how fast you go, but that you're moving in the right direction!
You know I recently saw a Lifetime movie about similar BFFs... they made a weight loss pact, only one resorted to WLS (her friends were very supportive of her choice for surgery as she was the heaviest and her character had struggled with dieting all her life - sound familiar?) but at least it was a favorable movie about different ways to lose weight and the support that helps us get to goal. Of course the main character (not the one with WLS) was an editor and wrote a book about beauty under a pseudoynm and got famous but played the elusive writer until she had to attend this gala by the publishers and fell in love with the head of the company. (It was a Lifetime movie remember?) Anyway, I digress!
Keep us posted how you're doing and any questions you may have! Best wishes for a successful and uneventful surgery and speedy recovery!

I want to have a WLS social gathering one day with old and new friends who have gone thru this process!!!
Anywho I am so excited for you. Do you have to do a liquid diet? If so does it start tomorrow?
I am right behind you by a week!
