I've got a date, Sorta...

Ok, so today I had my appointment witht the sleep center. I got the go ahead for my operation from that doctor. So I decited to run up stairs and let the nurse at the bariatric center know the good news. Besides that I had to trun in my activity, and food logs. Well the first good news was that I am offically 406 lbs, that one less pound than my surgon required my weight to be at for the operation.  This also ment that I have indeed lost fifty lbs. Whoo hoo!!! So she said "Hey you, Just the person I wanted to see." Im like ok, whats new. She said hows the 12th? For what I asked her? Your Operation, silly she said.  Hold on wait a second....I have to do the colposcopy tomorrow thoug, and what about the case review??? She simply said, from the notes i have you should be fine, we are reviewing your case at noon tomorrow, and well i cheated and went ahead and put your name on the calender for the 12th. So God willing, that everything goes fine tomorrow, I will be having my operation in less than 13days!!!! I have my pre op training on the 1st. and i meet with Dr. Nair for my pre op on the 8th. Oh my Lordy, I am so thankful and just had to let all my friends on here know. I will post how things go tomorrow.
Zipity do dah, Zipity Dee...Im on my way to bed.
Many blessings to each of you,
Melissa

I am so very happy for you! Is it OK if I come visit? I work about 5 blocks away.

Patty,
How is it going with you? I would be honored if you stopped by and visited me. I will message you with my information so you can find me.  Oh, and I was going to tell you at some point that you look really familure. I grew up in Keizer and still have a lot of family there, I wonder if we havevent met before, or even ran across each other? Who knows? You know, I follow some of your stuff on here, and I am so amazed at how well you are doing. I am so proud of you! Please keep up the good work, you are really an inparation to people like me!

Maybe so! I live near the end of Juniper off 15th. I have not met many folks outside of work (state gov) because it hurts too much to walk, so I don't go out. Won't it be nice to change that!

I do miss people.

Other than work, I mostly see people at the Keizer Courthouse (my pool).

Melissa,  Great news for you.!!!!! I'm having my pre-op with Dr Boulay tomorrow.  I have surgery schedule for October13th. Maybe I will see you walking the halls.  I'm on day 3 of the pre-op two week liquid diet.  Liquid diet isn't so bad.  I like the unflavored and chocolate UNjury protein powder they suggest.    Laura McD

Laura,
Congrats on your date as well!!! Thats so cool, that we are having our operations so close together. Maybe if we feel up to it mid week we could play a game of cards or somthing, who knows. I comend you on the liquid diet, I have this strange feeling that I will be starting mine today. But I'm sure you agree that in the end it will be very worth all that we are doing. Thanks for the advice on the Unjury protein powder, I'll try it out.  I dont know about you, But I just love all the people at the salem hospital Bariatrics Center. They have been so kind and encouraging to me! I hope you have had the same expearnce. Well good luck girl and keep me up dated! I'm gonna follow your journey and learn from you too!
Melissa
