Got my Surgery date 4/16!

Got my Surgery Date - I know it'll come up fast! I'm getting a little anxiety over the whole thing but know I'm in GREAT hands with Dr Ryder. Anyone have any advice for the anxiety?

Focus on what you want to accomplish; start living the correct lifestyle now; and breathe!

What an excellent date!!!  Mine was that date of 2009!!

Awesome! How did you do? What was your experience like?

I woke up to the worst back pain ever! It was worse than the stiches!  My back was so sore I was surprised!  It is a huge adjustment at first.. everything takes time to get used to but just know that you will get through the restrictive crappy stages and one day soon you will be able to eat fairly normal.  I do not dump but I cannot eat at all like I used to!  I have tastes of different things and feel normal. 

I am so happy with my results... went from a 46.3 (or something like that) bmi to 27 in one year!!! I want to lose anbother 25 lbs but am happy with where I am at.

Hey Melissa that is Awesome!  I just got mine too!  Mine is April 19th!  I totatlly know how u feel!  I am so excited!  It feels like i have been waiting forever!  And boom i got the call on Friday I was scheduled for a tenative date of 4/19.  than on Monday i got the call my insurance called with with an authorization!  I was shocked!!  Only one day and they authorized it!   I was nervous about that, cuz it was the last step!!   Well once again I wish u the best!!!!!!

good for you... i wish you nothing but the very best, and welcome you to the losers bench!!!

go get em'!!!!


take good care
