I can't hardly believe it. I finally have a date. December 3rd!!!! Please keep me in your prayers as I am a little nervous but I know God will be with me throught it all! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!  I tell you.. it has been a complete blessing so far for me. God is good and he will get you through this.  Who is your surgeon?  :)

My surgeon is Dr. Leo Davidson. I absolutely love him. He is so caring and compassionate about his patients! I am so excited I just want to scream!

Suzy -

Congratulations!!! The time will pass quickly and you will soon join us on the loser's bench. Looking forward to your company.

I have to tell you that even with the hair loss and excess skin, this is truly one of the best things I've ever done for myself.

All the best,

Barb

Thanks. I have talked to so many people and they all tell me they regret nothing and that it was the best thing they ever done for themselves. Congrats on you weight loss and take care! Suzanne

Getting that date was so exciting. It made it feel so real! Congrats! I'm scooting over to make room for you on the losers bench.

Thanks, I can't wait to get to the bench!!!!!!!! Suzanne

Congratulations Suzanne!  Nervous is normal, but you're right God will get you through.  If you'll permit me, I'll tell you what I post most of the time when people get their dates.  Everything you can do ahead of time to prepare will make your surgery easier and your recovery quicker.  Start taking your vitamins now, practice eating small bites that you have chewed thoroughly, try to stop drinking a 1/2 before meals and wait at least a 1/2 hour after before you drink again, and walk as much as you can daily.  Every pound you can lose and good habit you can develop before surgery will speed your recovery and your adjustment to your new lifestyle. Good luck and please keep us posted. Take care. Ellen

Thanks for the great advice. I have been doing really good with everything except the not drinking during meals. I gave up all soft drinks about 6 months ago, I take my vitamins & I chew, chew, chew! I will definately work on that hard! Thanks again and take care! Suzanne

Congratulations!!!!!!!! I am so excited for you. Finally getting your date must feel like opening up the best Christmas present EVER!!!! We will all be praying for you.
