nerves have set in

My surgery is scheduled for March 6th and the nerves have arrived. This site is all new for me. Anyone from Sandy?

Me and the wife live in Idleyld park Or. Just outside Roseburg. Where are you having your surgery? Dont let the nerves bug you too much. It has been the best thing we have ever done. Good luck! Derrick

My surgery is at Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland. When was your surgery?

Ours was at banner samaritian in Arizona were both comming up on three years. We had lap rny. To date I have lost 154lbs. I am below my personal goal of 240 and now weigh 204. Hang in there the first few mounths it was hard for me but just remember it gets much much better. Derrick

I'm from Eugene area, but wanted to say stick with this site and you'll get the support you need I'm sure. I'm a Mar. 30th DS surgery wannabe...I'll be asking for help from you soon! Keep reading the posts from folks that are loving their WLS life...focus on the positives is my advice (I'm trying to follow that myself!) and read the pre op suggestions. They are really inciteful-Chapstick being the #1 suggestion! Best Wishes & let us know when you get home!

Thanks for the words of encouragement. Yes I see chapstick is the number one suggestion. Good to know.

Lisa just try not to think about it to much. I just had mine at Good Sam a week ago friday . but keep talking to us,, I wrote most every day from 3 days before. The liquid was hard the 1st day but got better after that, ate so many sugar free popcicles the top of my mouth was sore but now im eating them like a pro keep writing and busy soon you will be on the other end and just fine Kel

Kelly: glad to hear all is well with you. thanks for the words of encouragement. You were right, this site is great. Lots of nice people. lisa
