<BR><BR><BR>Wow just a week away from my date....We can keep in touch with each other for support if you would like. If nobody else understand at least we will understand each other. Lets keep each other up in prayer. <IMG class=bbc_emoticon alt= src="http://cdn.verticalsleevetalk.com/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif"><BR>I am in the same boat. I just got my date today for July 13th. At first I was so excited I couldnt stand it but after the thrill of getting a date wore off I am truly nervous. I think as it gets closer I will get even more nervous. I cant express my nerves to anyone around me for fear they will discourage me even more. I will be praying for you. <IMG class=bbc_emoticon alt= src="http://cdn.verticalsleevetalk.com/public/style_emoticons/%3C#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif"><BR> -

Congrats! I have had problems w/my potassium for years I still take six of those huge pills daily. it took a few years to get it up to 4.5 for years even on the pottasium it was 3.0 I had to see all kinds of specialist. Are you taking potassium? I am praying once some of this weight is off I can be slowly taken off some meds. I weight about 253 now started at 271. They won't take me off all at once and I take a beta blocker. So I am a litte nervous with the surgery with some of the meds I am taken. But hey we are on our way. Keep us posted..............
Hello sorry it took me so long to reply, Yes, I am taking potassium pills daily along with a multi vitamin. I will definitely keep you all posted. July 6th will be here before you know it. I am still very excited and ready for the big change Do you have your surgery date yet?

I am happy for everyone that posted. My prayers are with you all. My surgery is July 6, 2011. I am nervous and excited at the same time

I am with you all on that note!!!! I hate the camera. I will take some before pictures. I can't wait for my surgery too. July 6th can't come fast enough. No more sleep apnea for us. Keep us (me) posted on everything because I will be right behind you. God Bless You.

Wow!!!!! Congratulations, that is so encouraging to me. Now I am even more excited and can't hardly wait until July 6th which will be my big day.

Thanks lissi, that really encouraged me. I pray that I no longer need the high blood pressure meds and I also hope to get off the Cpap machine. I am glad that I have you all as a support system. God bless you

God bless

Congratulation on having your surgery.

I think in the that way down the road, you will look back at this and have no regrets. This is a perfect forum to vent and get things off of your chest. I pray that be encouraged as you walk down this new road. Keep on posting!!!! You can help others who may be feeling the same way as you but are too afraid to post.

I Pray that your surgery goes well, without any complications. I would love to hear all of the details after you recooperate Your friend will eventually support you after she see that you are ok. My best friend is a little worried for me too. God Bless & hope to hear from you soon.

Congrats hun!!! Will someone be going with you??
Yes, My husband will be with me and my mom I am 42 years old and feel that this is a major surgery and I really want my mommy. There is a hotel walking distance from the hospital. I am considering taking a few of my children 13,16,17 year old so they can site see while there.

Congratulations on your date.
My date is on the 6th. I feel like @ this point people are going to have their opinions, either good or bad. When it is all said and done the decision is ultimately yours. I felt like people weren't concerned about my health when I was getting bigger and bigger, so why would they care about me now that I am going to be getting smaller. I am ready for the comments like ooooooh girl you are losing to much weight. You are getting too small. You look sick. I can see me literrally laughing out loud and thinking of just how dumb that will sound. Nobody ever told me ooooooh girl you gaining too much weight, or you are getting too big, or how sick I looked.....We have to be ready for whatever stupid comment they may make. Some of them will probably be jealous because you will end up smaller than them. Well that is enough of me rambling. You would think that I have known you for some time now (smile). I hope we can continue to keep in touch. Please let me know how the surgery goes and I will do the same. My surgery is coming in two weeks (gasp). Every time I think of it anxiety kicks in. I feel like the anxiety comes along with the territory. I can handle it. God bless you.
