I've Got A Date!!!

Well today is a great day! I've finally gotten scheduled for lap band surgery. I'm scheduled for July 3rd. This is farther out than I would like but I'm not complaining. It may require that I start graduate school in the fall rather than summer term, but I think I can live with that.

Congratulations Tamara - I'll be about a month behind you with my RNY. Linda

Yay, that's fabulous! Woo hoo! I'm so excited for you, Tammy!

Congratulations!!! Carrie

Tamara, Grats! That is wonderful, hope it doesn't delay grad school. Michele

Tamara - This is wonderful news, and the time passes quickly! I hope that you will be able to follow the 1200 cal. high protien low fat diet. I read a post by Rebecca Caldwell that made me think that I wished I would have been able to lose a little more weight prior to the surgery! Mine is May 23 - and I still have time to really bust a move on getting rid of fat! Gesch

Thanks! I've been doing pretty good with the diet. Until really recently, I've done GREAT with the diet. Stress and anxiety have made it a little rocky lately, but I'm still doing pretty well.

Tammy, Congratulations on your surgery date!! & getting accepted in graduate school. It is a long process from informational seminar to surgery. I started my process on 12/18/06 and my surgery will be 6/20/06 - a full 6 months. One thing for sure -- by the time you go through all of the required appointments, tests and dieting you know that it is what you really want to do. I don't think anyone would go through all of this if they were not very sure it was the right decision for them. Hopefully the next few weeks of waiting will pass quickly. Shirley

Hey, at least you've got some time to plan! Lori
