It would be nice if thats all it is, but I have the sinking feeling that I will just have to deal with it. It's the size of a golf ball I go see my doc on the 22nd. I will update you to let you know what he says.

I wish I would have known I would have a huge lump over my ribs where my port is. I'm 20 days post op.

I finally have my surgery date.......drum roll please....it's May 2nd!!!!!!!!! I'm very excited!!!!!!! Can you tell by all the exclamation points? Lol I have to start my pre-op diet April 18th, I know it's not going to be fun, but it all brings me one step closer to a healthier me. Does anyone else have the same surgery date as me, or close to it?

Compared to what some people have to wait 3 months is nothing. Yesterday I was talking to a lady and she said her friend had to wait 2 years! My schedule for the next 5 weeks is a little insane with all the tests and appointments, but I'm thankful to be moving forward in the right direction. Good luck to you both! I hope things go smoothly and swiftly for you.

Thank you, I will!

*surgery, not survey*

The appointment went great! I really liked the doc and he answered all my questions. I could be having my survey in as little as 8 weeks! I'm so excited - this is huge step in the right direction! *Bellavp- Congrats! Let me know how your appointment goes.

Thanks so much! I'm excited and nervous all at the same time.

I have my first appointment scheduled for Monday night....... aaaaagh! The nurse said that after my initial visit I will be scheduled for classes and I could have surgery in 6-8 wks........double aaaagh!! I am looking forward to using this site as a tool to help me through this whole process. It's always encouraging when you can talk to someone who has "been there - done that".
