New Surgery Date

I can't believe it! My surgery date has been moved up again! I'm having it done Tuesday Jan 11th. I'm beginning to panic. Too much to do. But excited, of course. Thanks to everyone for your support. Mag P.

Mag, how exciting, nerve-wracking, and any other emotion you can think of.  I am so excited for you.  As for there being too much to do, if you can get help doing what needs to be done, I say take it.  Of course if you are busy getting ready, that won't give you any time to be nervous (and trust me there is nothing to be nervous about).  I would do my RNY again in the blink of an eye.  I had so many people who tried to talk me out of it and I am so glad that they didn't succeed.  Tuesday will be here before you know it.  Keep us updated how the surgery goes.  We will be waiting to hear from you.  I'm cleaning your spot on the loser's bench.  You will be here before you know it.  Any help that I can give, just give a shout out and I will help any way I can.
 

Thanks Deanna,
It's so wonderful to have support. I'm going to work on my bedroom so that everything is the way I wanted for post-op period.  Mag

Mag, I know how you feel about the panic. My surgery is schedled a few days after yours on 1/17/11. So many emotions I am feeling. But it will be so worth it in the end (that is what I keep telling myself) I recenty read a book about a woman that had the RNY surgery, and her chant when things got rough was "nothing feels as good as skinny feels" That is what now keep telling myself now everytime I think of the initial pain and all that I will be giving up (Fat). "Nothing will feel as good as Skinny will feel"

Please keep us posted on your progress, and good luck.

Hi,
Of course, we should be going through this together! It will be great to have a friend at the same place, I've got so much to do and I bet you feel the same way. Never enough time for me. Mag    PS: What name do I call you?

I can literally imagine your excitement.. when I got a call to schedule mine.. it was less than week away too.. was like WOW.. at least you do not have much time to think  about it..as I was once told.. forgive me if I do not recall who told me that..but it rang true.. :)

Wow Mag! It went from forver away to a few days in no time at all! WOW!! I am thrilled for you. Trust in your surgeon and go in there with nothing but positive vibes... you'll do great! Keep us posted please!

Great news Mag, even less time waiting for surgery. Take a few deep breaths, you will get through this stressful time. Surgery will be soon and then afterward, you can sit back, sip, sip, sip and recall the anticipation. Looking forward to welcoming you to the losing side of surgery. Hugs
