I GOT A DATE!

I'm happy dancin all over my house! lol July 26th is my new Re-Birthday (barring any complications at pre op July 12th) I just needed to tell someone who would be as thrilled as I am. It seems like now that I have my date I'm getting alot more of the "don't do it!", "you don't need it", "are you sure" type speeches. I know it's all out of love and concern for me but Damn! They don't seem to understand that if Oprah did a show on wls and everyone's story went like this: I was fat. I had surgery. I'm skinny and happy. The end. ... her ratings would be in the toilet! Of course they have to tell the horror stories on TV cuz that's what people watch. For every horror story i'm sure there are many more success stories. And one more thing... If one more person who's been flippin size 2 all of their lives gives me any more advice on how I can lose weight "the right way" I'm gonna wring their skinny lil necks! Whew! Ok, I'm centered... I'm calm... lol Anyway, thanks all for listening to me vent real quick, I needed that. And thanks for all your support. Dana

I just wanted to say congratulation and good luck! :party: -Brook

Yay Congrats and Good Luck! Don't worry about other people

Hey...we share the same name...lol. Congrats and I hope I'll be soon behind you with a date. I just have to wait for my approval from insurance and finish the last of my pre-op testing. Woohooo! Maybe we'll be in the same month?? (just my wishful thinking...lol...I'll probably be closer to August or September...but who knows.) I hear you bout the size 2 folks wanting to give advice...my moms the same way. She's never been over a size 8 in her life and she tells me that I should just excersize and eat salads...geez if it were that easy i wouldn't be this fat...lol. Good luck and congrats again! ~Dana~
