I did all of my pre-op things at the hospital today! This is getting so real!

We are surgery buddies!! So excited! Welcome!

Welcome! I could have been having my surgery next week as well, but I promised a friends son 2 years ago that I would help with his graduation party, so I am having mine on June 4th. We will be able to compare notes and basically go through this together. I am excited and nervous! Tonight a really good friend of mine said that she was very worried I was doing it for the wrong reasons. I asked her what she thought that reason was? I told her that if I get off of any medicine then this surgery will be a success for me. I am so tired of hearing negative comments! It must be late... I am rambling. Thanks for listening

I hear that our taste may change drastically after surgery, so maybe try some again after you get your new pouch.

Oh my goodness! It sounds so much closer when you think 27 days.

Welcome! I know the feelings... my emotions are everywhere on the canvas!

Me, too! Reading way too much.

I am just joining this group. I am June 4th.

We are surgery buddies! I am June 4th as well!

I will say a prayer that it happens soon for you. My surgery is June 4th, maybe we will be June buddies.

My surgery is June 4th.... Absolutely cannot wait to be talking about my one year anniversary! I am so sick of hearing friends and family talk about everyone they know who gained the weight back! Any advice on what to say to those stupid comments?

Looks interesting.

Hope you have found out something by now. The waiting is one if the worst parts.

Thank goodness my doctor has not put pressure on me about being a certain weight. I would be in so much trouble, because that's why I am doing the surgery! I can't lose weight. I am insulin resistant due to PCOS and diabetes. Also, my diabetes meds make me gain weight. Grr!

Awesome tips! Thanks for sharing. I have a margaritator and it shaves the ice. I hadn't thought of using it to make snow cones.

We will be surgery buddies! I am on June 4th as well. I wish it were sooner, so I wouldn't have as long to contemplate things.

Yay!! I am June 4th. Excited, but a little nervous as well. Emotions are just everywhere. I am so ready for it to be over and be on the other side.

I am in Raleigh, NC. My surgery date is June 4th with Dr. Sudan at Duke

Thank you that was awesome!
