BGEB- here are some e flowers for you! Lol. I am so grateful to god that you pulled through a ok and I pray it stays that way.. its great to see you up and energized. Thats always a good sign. Do you feel any different? How long will you be in the hospital?

Monaie and Anume81- ive got you both down and will "see" you both on your days! Congrats and good luck! @anume- you and Lexy are on the same day! You have a buddy :-)

Unfortunayely my phone , this website, and my network decided to drop calls to each other today. Half of the messages posted in this forum were not sent to my notification email... sorry i missed some of you. I still have mandy and lexy on deck for next week. If you are having surgery next week, please let us know when!!!! Have a great night ladies and gents

Dezilou i hope all went well. Sorry i wasnt able to post any pre fanfare material for you! Lol. Let us know how you are doing when you feel up to it and congrats!!!:-) BGEB-- hows goes it senorita? Let us know how your surgery went when you feel better

I have finished with all my preop, submitted to insurance and was approved on 12/10. Just waiting on a date so im can get excited. I will definately keep up with regarding the pain thing. Im worrying myself already and im no where near the operating table... lol. A birthday surprise for you!. My bday is jan 3. It would be nice to have it then.

Rhats water under the bridge hun. Im glad you are making exciting progress and hopefully you will be posting news of your surgery soon..

Unfortunately i dont have a date yet. Still waiting on the slow surgeons office... ive knly had wisdom teeth removed.. and i dont have a high tolerance for nagging pains so im thinking its going to be rough for me. Have you finished your preop req's?

Ooh ooh treats! I love popsicles so i cant wait! Lol..at least you are getting your liquids in.

Thanx jena. I will remeber that for when i have my surgery!

Wow stomach noises... dont know if im ready for that. Im already paranoid. Im sure you are glad you are home. Are you finding it easy to sleep aside from the discomfort?

Lexy-- ive got you down... see ya on thursday!

Your bmi is in the 35 range...i assume youve had the sleep apnea test?

Thanks mezanne. The emotions are definately on the war path. My coworkers even asked me if i was pregnant!. Lol. I wish. 1 main reason for the surgery...

Who is your insurer?

And i do understand about the holidays. Im not a big fan either and its hard to be that way with the little ones in the house..:-)

Oh my. Thats frustrating. Have you tried doing the liquid diet to drop a few lbs. A week should do it for you since you only have 4.5 lbs more to go? Dont give up yet. You are almost there..

Awesome. Glad you are doing well.. enjoy those meds and your bed and have a great night....

Same here. It is still an uphill battle. I am still a bit scared as i have never had surgery before. What about you?

Niki! How did everything go. Hope you are o.k. :-)

Any one else being sleeved next week? If so post your name and date and we will give you a big surgery send off!!!!

MANDY---- you are on deck! Get ready for Monday!!!!!!

BgEB--- be safe on your journey to the hospital tomorrow. I will pray you through your surgery. I wish speedy healing and uneventful recovery for you. Dont forget your comfort items and post here when you feel up to it. Ill post again for you in the morning. Sleep well and best of luck!!!!!!!

Thanks darla. I hope soo too:-(

I am in richmond va. I have complained to her supervisor about the first incident. Granted the last time i spoke with her was on tuesday about scheduling, but of course i was put in the "holding pattern" and told to wait for her phone call.

Thats just the thing Darla, (which i failed to mention in my original post, I am still waiting on her to call me with a surgery date. The last time I spoke to the surgeon, he advised that he was scheduling a month out. That was on 11/21. The closer I get to the end of the year, the longer that date gets pushed back. Now don't get me wrong, I am in no rush to have the surgery as the weight did not come on over night, but I am one who likes to have my house in order before major events and she is really pushing the envelope on that.
