Next week's surgery list - let's welcome this group to the loser's bench

Wow, Friday again and another chapter in the lives of our friends here at OH who are scheduled for surgery in the next week.  Let's take a moment this weekend to send a note off to these fortunate folks who are starting the next phase in weight loss.  Either initial surgery, revisions or plastic surgery.  One way that we can show our support for others is to share notes back and forth.  I try to keep up on the latest and greatest for the friends I have here on OH.  Please feel free to add anyone else that you know to the thread.      May 10 LadySedona, Splashnfun, May 11 Michelle S. May 12 Kemwillmore, May 13 mommyoffive, didi914, May 14,   Congrats the time for your surgery is approaching.  Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.  Praying for a calm, planned surgical process, speedy, smooth recovery and that you are feeling up to posting to share of your experience after you recover.  Come to the bariatric buddy group page and post a note when you are able.  Hugs, Kathy    

Congrats to all of you that will be jopining us on the losers bench this week! May your procedure go without incident and your recovery be speedy and free from any difficulty! Let us know how we can support you all in your journey! Prayers going up for all!

It's crazy.  I remember in January when I started the process it seemed like it would take forever but here I am 4 days away.  I am anxious to begin this journey and  to share my experience with others.  It's my turn for a  new chapter in my life without being the "heavy" one.   Thanks to all of you veterans for sticking around for newbies like me who look to all of you for advice and support.  Please keep me in your prayers.  Thanks Kenyetta

Just wanted all of you pre-ops know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.  You'll be on the other side before you know it.  Good luck to all!

I never thought I'd be here: days away from starting a new journey. I finally made the decision to seriously pursue WLS only after my mother's life was spared during her visit in Haiti in January. She miraculously made it back to Florida safely and I could no longer deny that I was letting my weight take me to an early grave. It made appreciate all my loved ones, including my beloved husband of 18 years, and my precious 6 year old son. I've really jumped through hoops with the insurance company and getting my pre-op clearances, but it is so worth it! Logging onto OH, reading your posts, and seeing those wonderful before and after pictures have given me such strength to see this through now and beyond. I thank all of you for your support. Although I am a virtual stranger to you all, I feel welcome! After my surgery, I promise to keep you posted of my progress and upload my own set of before/afters! Thank you so much, and I pray for others with upcoming  surgeries, that their surgeon's hands are guided to perform without faltering, for uncomplicated recoveries, and bright tomorrows!

Congrats, good luck, and here's hoping you all have a quick and smooth recovery time.
