thanks Karen! I am so ready for this and I posted on here today for the first time because I know the more support I have, the better my results will be. I haven't told many people about the surgery, so it's like besides my mom, husband, brother, this is the support group I have. It is very comforting to read a lot of the forums on here, I have learned so much and feel that I am more prepared to know exactly what to expect.
There are several people here having their surgery on the 10th or 11th. You'll have company!

Glad to have you with us Jess! Congratulations on your insurance approval - that is cause for celebration.
I think most people has a little anxiety about surgery. We'll all get through this together!!

My journey started in June. I had to do three months of weight loss with the dietician and met with the surgeon. I got my approval from insurance the first week of November. On November 19, I had my preop testing. My surgery date is December 10th. I start my liquid diet tomorrow.
Since June I have lost 34 pounds, which makes me extremely excited. I just wish the two weeks til surgery would be here already!
I start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow. I have been having a couple practice days here and there, in hopes to help me not have to gag them down. I'll let you know tomorrow how I am doing. I also agree with you that tomorrow starts my actual journey. To me, it makes it all seem real. Good Luck Janice! We got this =-)
My name is Jess and I am from Ohio. My journey for the surgery started in June 2013. I got my approval from insurance 2 weeks ago. I start my two week liquid diet tomorrow and my surgery is scheduled for December 10, 2013. I am very excited to finally be this close to the surgery. I have done a lot of research and reading on here and I have found it has helped calm my nerves quite a bit. Don't get me wrong, I'm still nervous about the surgery itself, but I have complete faith that everything is going to be ok. I look forward to getting to know everyone and welcome the thought of sharing the journey with those that are having the surgery the same month as myself. I know with support we will all be successful!
Actually, my first thought was to go with "Hiddy ho, good neighbor", but thought maybe I was too old for you to get the reference.
And yes, at the very least we are all neighbors here.
