Surgury 1 Week from TODAY !!!!!

 Hello, My name is Becca and I signed up for this site a few month ago but havent really been on yet, however now more than ever I think this board is exactly what I will need. I started my journey towards the surgery March of 2011 at 244 pounds when I was hospitalized for heart troubles, since then it has been a long journey and I am so excited that finally the surgery is a week away. I will be having my surgury at 7:30 AM on November 10th at Fairview Southdale Hospital in Edina Mn with Dr Laguna, I am so excited for my journey to start but also a little nervous too. Its hard to imagine that life as I know it is going to change completly in such a short time. I am down to 215 pounds now due to taking all the steps that I was told to take along the way and cant wait to wear all the smaller clothes that I have stocked up on along the way. Would love to find others who are starting the journey and of course all of those who have already started. Look forward to getting to know everyone here alot better.

Welcome Becca! I had surgery on the 24th of October so I'm just 10 days post-op. I've learned so very much by spending time on the forums. You'll find it a resource and source of great support.

 Thanks so much , how is it going for you so far?

Best wishes for your surgery!
I hear there is a support coffee group in Edina...hope you can find them.

Welcome to the losing side of surgery Becca. I am from MN too, living up on the iron range, north of Duluth. There are great support groups available in the twin cities area. Keep us up to date on your progress!!!!
