Blondiee

This is a FANTASTIC idea Blondiee...Can you imagine the numbers we'll see? LOVE IT!

Thanks MnWin! Maybe 5,000 pounds or more?!?!?

Man...our group is so large. Can't wait to take a poll at 6 months out and see how much we will have lost as a group!

Yeah, I think every doctor has a different recommendation as to when and how when it come to Vitamins. Kaiser gave us a chart during our Options classes as to what we should take. We also got a code for a discount at a couple of the popular bariatric sites. PM if you're interested.

So what is everybody who has surgery scheduled in early December doing to prepare right now? Just curious...

I just ordered several different Protein samples and Vitamins. Last weekend I got a front hook sports bra from Ross. I've read hear that a wire might be uncomfortable near the incision.

This weekend I plan to clean the house from top to bottom and then arrange for a car service to take me to and from the hospital. I want to cover all my bases early or I'll start to stress out.

I'm so happy to hear that everything worked out for you!

Congratulations on your pregnancy and weight loss! IMO being a mom is the best "job" in the world. :wub:

Welcome Coachdk and congratulations on getting your date!

Ummm, can this month just hurry up and be OVER already?!?!?!?!?!? I'm sure some you you might feel the same way.

So excited. Just got my date today, and my surgery is set for Dec 9. Can't wait. It's been a long journey to get to this point. Had my band out in April, and just waiting until I could get this done! So happy to be joining the December group.

Welcome!

There's a great list floating around here somewhere. Let me see if I can locate it...with all the changes going on.

Jeez!! It's so cool that our group just continues to grow!

AtlantaRed and MnWin - thanks for keeping our monstrous list in check.

Congratulations JenRRT! We are surgery sisters!!

I'm anxious, nervous and excited but sooo ready for this to happen. Our new lives are right around the corner.

I joined another VSG group. Its just not the same here anymore since they changed it a few days ago. I really enjoyed coming here everyday there was alot of action, conversation and advice, Now its so quiet. Dont know what happened! A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do...haha:) I hope it can return to normal but if not it was good while it lasted!

Which VSG group did you join?

You look gorgeous and the red shirt looks great on your skin. Way to go and thanks so much for sharing!

Hey, me too . A whole day of fun and excitement - I am pretty sure my head may explode with information overload!

We're almost ready to join the loser's bench!

Two weeks until my pre-op appointment.

How exciting! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I'm not loving this new site either.

I'm with you all....I HATE THIS CHANGE!

Whew...now my avatar is back to normal.

I got super nervous, mad and upset yesterday when I tried to come on here. Glad that it's back up but WHO is the lady in MY profile picture?!?!?!? LOL

And I meant yummy as in good looking. Not the powder Room Ladies Gone Wild kind of yummy.

Maybe it's a random thought??? Either that or I need to shop at Ross!

You and Butterbean ALWAYS make me laugh. Thanks

Yes, it was just a random thought and he does not work at Ross. I wish he did so I could use his discount.

I'm with you Blondiee - my pre-op appointment is on the 25th. My surgeon is only having me do a 2 day pre-op clear liquid diet and told me he just doesn't want me to gain between the time he and I met (early Sept) and the date of surgery. Right now I think I am one pound up over what I weighed then but that could be just Water. Ideally my goal is to take a few pounds off between now and surgery just to get myself on the right track.

That's exactly what my surgeon said...don't gain any weight between then and now. His nurse told me he's the type that will cancel your surgery if you gain.

Ok, I added Andrew (fpmr96a) to Dec 10 (yay now there are 2) and mscognac504 to the unknown date list.

I find it odd that we have 83 December people yet only 68 people following this thread! I wonder if they changed their minds, changed their dates or don't like us? Hmm....

Hopefully I get to update again tomorrow with MY date!!

Got my Upper GI and EKG and that's all!

The radiologist said the upper GI was clear. Doctor's office said they would get the results this afternoon and the surgeon should sign off tonight and I should get a call from the scheduler tomorrow!

Maybe they don't know how to "follow" a thread and just search for it?

I hope you get your date of December 5th so we can be sleeve sisters!!

He is just all kinds of yummy! Why have I been brushing him off?!?
