Woo Hoo! I see you are also in Texas. I'm in the Dallas area. Are you near me? Did you have any issues with gas pain?

Just learned my surgery is FIRST on Friday, so I have to be there at 5:30 am. Guess there will be no sleep for me tomorrow night!?

CONGRATS ON YOUR APPROVAL! It's such a relief!

I'm still working but my private health insurance covers it (well, except my $4k out of pocket max). I was afraid Medicare wouldn't cover, so I thought I should do this before I retire.

I was also a single mom of 1 for 25 years, and also cared for my mother. But when my child became independent and my mother passed away, I found extra time on my hands and tried match.com. At age 59 and 240 lbs, I met and married a wonderful guy - in Hawaii! He is very supportive of my choice to have this surgery. He is also dieting and we plan to be much more active and do more travel in our golden years. It's NEVER to late to find someone to spend the rest of your life with!

Yep! Count me in the "over 60" club. I'm 62 and decided it's NOW OR NEVER!

My surgery is Friday the 13th. I just had my LAST meal before surgery because I have to do only shakes tomorrow until surgery. My Dr had me on 2 shakes/1 meal/day for 2 weeks pre-op. The one meal had to consist of 3-4 oz of a lean protein, 1 cup of NON-starchy vegetables and 1/2 cup of either brown rice, whole wheat pasta, or sweet potato or sprouted wheat bread.

I'm scheduled for FRIDAY THE 13TH!!! (duh duh duh!) Just 2 more days of pre-op diet. I'm so looking forward to getting PAST the next 2 weeks!
