Dawn Harris got a reaction from Kittymom in September Surgery...Lets do this
Hello Everyone,
I was scheduled for September 12th, but they had a cancelation and now my surgery date is August 10, 2016. I may not be a Sept surgery anymore, but I can maybe give you insight as I go through my journey! My preop testing is July 26th, 2016. They told me even though my surgery date is August 10, that I will get a phone call the night before to let me know what time I need to be at the hospital and what time my surgery will be. They expect that I will be in the hospital for at least one day. I am having the gastric bypass done.
I think at this point I am a bit nervous. I would say that is normal. I believe I also have some anxiety. I was told that it is possible to gain weight with anxiety. Maybe that is why my weight fluctuates.

Dawn Harris got a reaction from customademe in Need AUGUST bypass buddies!
I am having Gastric Bypass on August 10th. I am nervous and a bit anxious! I know that God has led me to this decision. I have prayed about this for a few years. I thought that I was going to be on a liquid diet for two weeks before my surgery. I had my preop appoint last week and they told me just the day before to have liquids. Clear Liquids...
I cannot believe it is only 9 days away! I will be praying for you on your journey! I will keep you posted on my journey as well....

Dawn Harris reacted to Daisy Day in Deep thoughts
Yesterday I was able to go to my first surgical appointment, I am a month and a half into the 4 month process and so far I have lost 11 pounds. I have been doing physical therapy twice a week and behavior therapy once a week. My nutrition appointments are three times per month, I was accepted into the UW program and I found out that the surgical procedure will be the gastric bypass. The Molina process is usually 6 months but I'm getting "fast tracked" because of personal motivation. The point I'm making is when it comes to your individual plan it is just that your individual plan, I track everything that goes into my mouth and every step I take. What ever myself and my team plan and decide I do, I go above and beyond, when I give my best I can not fail.
All of us are here for a reason and all of our stories that got us here are different, we all deserve to be healthy and happy. Our efforts will be measured with the pounds we lose, our bodies will not lie and our efforts will pay off. We can't afford to to fail, and motivation can be hard to keep going and sometimes we have to cheer each other on, we need to keep judgment silent.
