The date is set!!!
Wow! I'm soooo excited - my surgery date has been set for April 1!!! So I've started my pre-op diet, and been buying all my stuff - vitamins, protein powder, small storage containers, etc. It feels like I've been researching the different procedures and going over and over all the info I could in my head for so long, and now it's all coming together so fast, haha! Also, after reading some of your posts about "not so supportive" family, I'm really grateful that mine has been so good through all this. A few of them work in healthcare, so I'll be in good hands while recuperating
I read your post about your experience with the band....sorry to hear you got "derailed" but I'm sure it's just a temporary setback - it sounds like the bypass will help you get back on track. It's great that your wife has been through it and done so well - perfect support system! As for clothes, I've yo-yoed so much, I think I have every size I'll need - until I hit goal weight, of course...then it's time to SPLURGE! Best wishes for your big day!
It will be here soon. Congratulations. Remember to pack a pillow for your stomach for the ride home and a picture of your family to look at when they are not there. Good luck. I will be praying for you.
“Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”― Marc Hack

Congrats!! Ims o happy for you. Its awesome that you have a good support system and the fact that they are in the medial field is an added plus. When I have my WLS my mom who is a retired surgical nurse will come stay with me for about 2 weeks...I have a 4 yr old so I will need help with her as well. Good Luck on your surgery.
Congrats! I'm scheduled for April 9th. Lets keep in touch.
