Some times you have to be a stalker!

Wow this group has grown!!! I'm having a hard time keeping up!

2 weeks and 6 days countdown for me. I start the liquid diet in 6 days. Yes, that means no Thanksgiving dinner this year. Oh well, I'm hoping to take off about 10 pounds pre-op, so my eyes are on the prize. All my clothes are fitting pretty snug these days due to food funerals I've been having... Not a good strategy I know.
It's getting so real. I just made my final co-insurance payment, and filled out all pre-op paperwork at the hospital, so all I have to do is check in on the op day. So very excited and proud of me putting myself first. As a single mom, I'm never putting my needs first, and it's about time.

Welcome!

Hi All,
I am trying to read through all this but it is getting long so I will have to do this in chunks. I am very happy for all of us and I welcome conversations so we can all support each other, this is great!
I have a surgery date of December 17, I am both scared and excited - I so want to win this battle. I still have to have an endoscopy and a few other pre-op things between now and my date. Oh yeah, I also have final exams for grad school which will finish on December 12th. My classmates are going to Africa on a medical missions trip on our holiday and I elected to stay home and have this done as I am trying so hard to be healthy again.
Best wishes to all and lets get this done!

Someone add me to the list for Friday the 13th! So much for Dec 5th, but at least I have a date!

Hi Everyone,
I just joined to night and have read a lot of the postings and feel so grateful to have a support group.
I just found out today that my insurances approved my surgery. I am so excited. I am working on my pre-surgery weight loss with the hope for a surgery date early December.
All my testing is complete, next week a post op NUT class and then one more class for pre op thru recovery classes.
I hope to get my surgery date on the calendar by next week if my weight loss is on track.
Looking forward to going through this life changing event with everyone.

Ok, this is what I've come up with for dates. Let me know when you have a solid date and I can update the list.
