Well I got my unofficial / official surgery date!

June 7th or 8th! Yay!

Congratulations Dirk! Life is about to get so much better. Connie

Shoot, in June you can do your walks outside the hospital and sweat off about 60 lbs!!! It's going to be getting a little hot - here in the desert! Congratulations - Good Luck - keep us informed Diane

Dirk, Congratulations on your date!! How exciting for you. I hope you get the results you want with the lap band!! Erica

Yours is before mine and I have had my date for over two months. I'm pouting! lol

Well sorry I'm slow at responding back, but this year is one of those busy years in my life I guess. Not only is the life change coming with the weight loss, next December I will be graduating with my bachelor's degree. Hooray! Ring the bells, finally. So classes at the end of this semester have been a bit hectic. Thank you all for the encouraging words. I'm nervous, apprehensive, excited, worried, any other adjective you can think of. ~ Connie - I truly hope so, I don't think it can get any tougher then it is right now health wise. ~ Diane - Yah, I sort of not really jumping for joy about that, but 90 degrees and 60% humidity here in Missouri isn't fun at all either. ~ Erica - Me too, especially since it's like paying for a new car. But I'm sure I will, I spent a year researching this operation and procedure. ~ Cathrine - No insurance hassles to deal with, and plus I have a very short window on when I can get out to Arizona and spend a couple months out there. By mid-July or august I need to be back in Missouri to finish that last semester! So I sort of asked please with a cherry on top? ----------------- Anyways, next friday I start all my pre-op test, hopefully nothing major will show up that will affect my chances on this operation. Fingers and toes crossed right?
