I got my date !!!!

I can't believe it. Sacre Coeur called and I'm getting the VSG with Dr. Atlas on May 25th.
I have to be on the liquid diet for 4 weeks!! That's going to be hard.
I'm stressing out big time. I'm happy it's finally almost here, but I'm nervous.
I'm sure it's normal to be nervous right???

Cindy

Holy smokes! Congrats Cindy! Yeah now that you have the date it's completely normal to be nervous! I can't wait to see another person on that losers bench! I can't wait to joing you guys too! 

Congrats!  How long did you have to wait?  Was your family doctor cooperative in giving you a letter of referral?

Thanks!
I have been waiting since Feb. 2008, that is when I met Dr. Atlas for the first time.
My family doctor was great, he totally agreed with it. He gave me a ferefral. But he did not have many names or contact info so I went on-line and called as many doctors as I could before I found that Dr. Atlas and the others at Sacre Coeur had the shortest waiting list.

I just have to say that I'm SOOOOOOOO jealous!!!

I am thrilled for you Cindy....a date finally.  Optifast for four weeks are they nuts?! That will be tough but you can do this....we'll be here to help you along :) and the bench has lot's of room on it.  I am warming your spot as we speak.   Your nerves will get better and then about two weeks prior to surgery you'll start freaking out.  Everyone hits at two weeks prior to surgery and then you slowly get better and next thing you know your on the loser's bench! Hang in there the ride is wild but so totally worth it.

Congratulations Cindy!!!

The worst part of the process is over. Just turn this nervousness in positive energy and enjoy the ride!

Keep us posted on your progress!

Hi Cindy,

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful news!!! You must be very excited. Good luck to you and especially on the Optifast.

Keep us posted and don't forget...we're here if you need us!!

Great news Cindy... It's normal to be nervous, and like Brenda said, it will get better, and come back in the end... You will find time is long, being anxious to get to the date, and suddenly you are there, and everything goes so fast!  Don't worry, be happy, and don't hesitate to come here for questions, advices or just venting out... I am so glad for you!!

((hugs))
