Surgery next week for another group of losers

Wow, Friday, and soon another chapter in the lives of our friends here at OH who are scheduled for surgery next week.  Let's take a moment this weekend to wish everyone all the best during and after surgery.  Some are having 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.      During the week of July 5 to the 9th we welcome the following to the loser’s bench: DeniseATL, Brenda B., blackbird, clyigner, Jayehawk70, KYGeisha, n128lauren,     Congrats the time for your surgery is approaching.  I am keeping each of 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    

I'm one of the people having surgery next week! I'm cltigner (Christina) and I'm new here. My surgery is scheduled for next week (Tuesday July 6) and I'm excited. I feel really pretty well prepared! But I've waited 1.5 *years* to finally get my surgery date - lol. So I've had lots of time to get5 myself ready. I've been working through the the "Along the Weigh" WLs surgery journal, which has been really helpful and helps me to feel like I'm "doing something" positive with my time rather than letting myself get unnecessarily anxious while I wait.

I'd l;ove to hear how everyone is and especially all the next-week people!
Here's to the best, and to the and easiest recovery for all of us!

 Thanks, Kathy, and good luck to the other "losers-to-be" out there!

I'm Hillary, and my surgery is scheduled for Wednesday.  Like citigner, I'm excited but feeling prepared at the same time.  I'm trying to get as much ready as I can before hand because my Husband deploys the following morning (first time I won't be taking him to the ship since we married--crazy!), and my parents are going to be helping me out afterwards, so my goal is to make their job as easy as possible.

Have a wonderful week everyone; if I don't before, I'll see you on the other side!  

Good luck everybody! I'm right behind you (July 14th) so please post your experience as soon as you can.
