That's awesome! I understand the nervous feeling though. I have had surgery before and I'm still feeling nervous.

Hang in there and good luck.

I don't blame you for going to Starbucks and not wanting to get Water. You can get water anytime and I'm sure water there will cost as much as a passion tea anyway.

I am the same way.... I lose weight very quickly when I am completely focused on losing. If I have one off day I tend to gain a significant amount of weight back over night. It's so frustrating. I decided that I wasn't going to try to lose during my NUT visits.... I just didn't want anything to happen because my BMI is under 40 and I don't want my insurance Co to say I can just continue with the nutritionist since it's working.

Do all of you who are scheduled on Sept. 8th and 9th have to do a liquid fast before surgery?

If so, we should start a thread so we don't get lost in the suffle and we can buddy up from pre-op through post op.

It will be nice to hear about everyone's experiences and to "feel" like we are in this together even in the hospital.

My date is on Sept. 8th.

So excited and I hope everything works out.

My RN-Y Gastric Bypass surgery has been set! September 8th 2014 I will go under the knife for my laparoscopic surgery. It will be preformed by Dr Danny Vaughn of the Bariatric and Metabolic Institute of Ga (Macon, Ga). I start my two week liquid diet on Monday Aug. 26th! I am beyond excited and cannot wait to start my life anew! 28 y/o, F, 330lb, 5'3" So long as everything looks good at my hospital pre-op on Sept 2nd, surgery is a go!

I just got my date and I'm scheduled for Sept. 8th too.

I just found out my date is September the 8th, kinda scared, kinda excited, just hoping it goes smoothly.

SEPTEMBER 8, is my big day. I can't believe it really....I am so excited, and completely petrified all at the same time!

My brother had his sleeve done in March and has lost 159 pounds!!

It's all I needed to see to know that this could totally work for me too!

I'm new here so would love to connect with other sept surgeries!

I just got home from the surgeons office and I have a tentative date set for Sept. 8th.

Pending everything goes smoothly with my insurance, pre-op visit, labs and EKG.... those should not be an issue. I am excited and now VERY nervous. It is all feeling pretty quick after the 90 day NUT visits.

I have been wanting to just get a date set..... as soon as they asked me if I had a week in mind, my heart automatically dropped to my feet. LOL

Congrats!!!! it will be here before you know it.

Is the endoscopy a requirement for everyone?

I am at the surgeons office now... Waiting to talk to the nutritionist for my final appt. I have to schedule an appt w/the surgeon and make sure everything is in order.

You guys all look fantastic... I can only hope my arms will look half as good.

Good to hear.... I am hoping to go down a size. I am still pre-op though.

Congrats... It will be here before you know it.

Hello all

I was just wondering if any of you have smaller feet after losing a significant amount of weight?

I love shopping and I answered YES to many of the questions asked. Lol

I have never spent money that shouldn't be spent or went overboard and was in a panic about how much I spent later.

I will shop at any size but it's much more fun nog to have such size restrictions and being able to shop in the non-plus size section and know things will fit.

Ah... Don't say that. I already have it bad enough pre surgery.

Great question... I'm taking note.

Yah!!! Where are you from

I am currently living in FL.

I'm crossing my fingers that I will be one of the September ppl.. I have a feeling that it will be the end if I'm lucky.

You look fantastic. I hope to be able to just rock a pair of shorts with confidence....

Cute dress! You look great.

Hang in there.... If you really want this to be a success, you know you can do whatever it takes to get it done.

Congrats on quitting.....

I can't wait to finally get a date.... So my husband and I can make preparations for my recovery. I also hate waiting and just wanna know when.

That's awesome! I have managed to avoid Water parks for 14 years but I know that my son would have loved to go. I can't wait to take him and feel comfortable and not like I'm embarrassing him.

I am still pre op and I have only told my husband. I would like to keep it that way because I don't feel like I should have to explain anything about what I do with my body to others. I have no plans to ever tell my son because I think it would be too difficult for him to not let it slip out.

I am so afraid of losing my hair. I already have thin hair and losing any of it will result in noticeable bald spots. I think that's a big part of why I have not tried to have this surgery sooner. I have come to terms that I will just have to deal and figure it out when/if the time comes instead of letting the fear hold me back.

I started taking Biotin 2 weeks ago and I am hoping it will help.
