Surgery Scheduled!

I have been lurking about reading posts and such for a bit but today I got my surgery scheduled and decided it was time to introduce myself! :D   My surgery is set for Feb. 19th and I am having the bypass.  At this moment, I don't know if I'm more excited or scared but I know it's a great thing...either way.  I look forward to getting to know everyone.

Hi Mandy. Congrats!!  I'm new here too. Just got word that I passed the psych eval (LOL) and the surgeons office was submitting my paperwork today to my insurance company. I guess I'm days from approval and will have surgery sometime in Feb. Like you, I'm scared and excited at the same time. Dreading that 10 day pre-op liquid diet. LOL

Congrats to you! I am having surgery on the 18th and am very much excited as I am nervous. Good luck to you and I will see you shortly on the losers bench

Welcome. These boards are great. Always a variety of opinions and you feel like they really care! I am on here every day. I had surgery 12/4/12. Best of luck to you!! You will do great!!

Hi Mandy!  Congrats on your surgery date!

Hi Mandy!

Welcome and congratulations on your upcoming surgery. I think if you look at my blog you will see that I was very much like you, I was both filled with excitement and nerves when I finally got my surgery date. It's really very normal to have mixed feelings as you approach such a life-changing event. That said, I have to tell you that my only real regret is that I didn't do this much sooner. It changed my health and quality life in so many positive ways. On top of that, it made an incredible difference in the life of my daughter. She was an overweight pre-teen on the road to obesity, just like her mother. Now, she is a tall, slender drink of water who I am quite sure will never have the health issues I had. It has forever changed my life and has water falled to those I love. I really don't think that I could have forseen the changes it would make in my own life, much less that of my daughter. I only regret that I didn't do it when my son's were her age so that they too could have benefited from the changes I made as my daughter has.

Wishing you all the best as you enter this new, exciting juncture of your life.

Mandy,  Congrats on your date.  I just put a call in to scheduling and they will be calling me back with a date.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!  I can't wait to get to the loser's bench.

Congrats!  My surgery date is Feb 13th.  I am also nervous/scared and I feel a little guilty for taking this time off for myself (I am a teacher).  However, I am sure this is the right decision.
