I am seeing Dr. Lopez at Mi hospital on Feb.17th and was hoping to connect with others going around that time. Heading down Solo as hubby can not get away that long. SoontobeStacy

One week from tomorrow and a new life will begin...... Getting excited :-) see you in TJ, Apastrono!!!!

Good luck tomorrow, I'm right behind you, scheduled in the 17th and very excited!!!!

Congrats on your new date!!! The 17th is gonna be a great day! I'm scheduled for the 17th as well and am very excited but a little panicked and as silly as it seams a but mournful over food :-( can't wait for the hunger to go away!

Thank you so much for your support and understanding :-) I don't know what more to say

I too have kept my upcoming RNY a secret. My husband knows, of course, he is also having the surgery in March, we have shared it with my stepdaughter as she worries about her fathers recent diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes and we wanted to ease her mind that the WLS should help eliminate that. Other then that I have only shared with one friend at work and she is supportive and excited to see my progress. I will probably tell my family once it's done. I'm waiting until then for 2 main reasons, 1st I do not want anyone worrying and 2nd I need to keep my thoughts clear of any other opinions except my own. This is a huge decision and I am making it for me alone. Everyone has an opinion but right now I do not need any added confusion. I've done my research and feel good about my new future. My main concern with not telling the people closes to me (my mom, son and daughter, sister) is that they will be hurt and upset with me for not sharing prior. I guess that spells out my issue with pleasing others before myself pretty clearly :-0 this time it's about me and I cannot be swayed or confused by the opinions of others no matter how much I love them, they will be happy when I'm healthy and around much longer :-)

Good luck to all you January newbies, I'm scheduled for Fed. 17th and am getting very excited. I found a great site for vitamins and the prices are amazing and they even have done bariatric specific stuff (pipingrock.com) check it out and I will be anxious to see how you do :-)

Feb. 17th is my big day! I start the pre-op diet on Monday the 3rd so I'm enjoying and saying goodbye to a few of my favorites with a so called last supper on Super Bowl Sunday. I'm ready to say goodbye to the garbage and hello to portion control and feeling lighter :-)

Kristina, I'm a Portland girl myself, scheduled for RNY Feb. 17th, my hubby is soon to follow in March but not so big on the support thing. Unfortunately that leaves me kinda like a liner on this journey for myself and a caretaker for his process!!!! Would love to follow your journey!

I'm in Gresham Or. and my surgery date is Feb. 17th!!!! Scared and very excited :-)

Apastrono, we will have to kept in touch as our big day approaches and I look forward to meeting you in TJ, what procedure are you having?

Good luck to you, I look forward to following your journey as well....... We got this :-)
