WE HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON !

I got my date too !!!!!  yippee.  I go on the 8th for preadmission and surgery is on the 24th.  Only 3 weeks left.  That's only 2 months since my initial consult.  I am so excited, I could burst.
Stephen, you will have to keep me in the loop on how things go.  I'm following in your footsteps.
Yeah !!!!!!!!!!

Patsy!  Wow!  I am so excited for you.  I think if it was me I would be all jittery inside.  I am very happy for you.  I will watch your progress with much interest.  I talked to Nathalie today and she is trying to schedule my gastroscopy for the 28th of October.  And she said she will try to schedule my signing for later the same day.  So long as what he sees is all good, I will not be too far behind you.  Keep everyone posted and Good Good Luck.

thanks Ann, I am jittery.  i was wound right up earlier.  i'm calming down now.  i just had my supper which is dished out on a bread and butter plate.  Not much to eat, but the plate looks full.  I'm still not good at eating slower, but that will come for sure after the surgery.  thanks for your kind wishes.  Patsy

Fantastic! Wow it looks like a few of us are on our way. We have so much to be to be thankful for. Lets keep in touch because I know the first year is tough and it is easy to regret your decision, if only in a low moment. I have a friend who had surgery years ago and she said in the first year, she regretted her decision most of the time. However, since then she has been very glad. The issues that got us to this point, don't disappear.  What am I going to do when I feel lonely, depressed,angry? I won't be able to eat my feelings any more. I will not be able to stuff that hole inside with sweets any more. I really don't know how much my husband and I will have in common!! Our main activity is going out to eat!!  I don't mean to rain on your parade, My point is that we are all cheering for each other now, but it is in the months to come when the cheering will really count.  I hope this sermon has not caused anyone to doubt their decision in the slightest, because us all know that years of life depend on our sucesses.  All that aside...Hipp Hipp Horrah for Patsy!

hi i am new to this  but i am going for my sessin on 7 october ...

congratulations.  you will learn so much that day.  is it the lap-band you are getting or RNY.  either way you'll be glad you did.  only 3 weeks left for me and am so excited.

Be prepared to take notes.  You will be given a lot of information and there is a test at the end of the day. 

I just had my 6 month post op check up today and Dr B was very surprised to see I lost 108lbs......he was happy about that I would like to loose 75 more lol....

Wow that is amazing!  I hope you are feeling well and that you are healthy.  That is one thing I didn't ask about at the information session was after care.  How often to you go see them aside from the fills?  How closely do they monitor you?
