I agree, you do not want to drive! No hospital should allow that!

Gosh everyone, I am way too happy and anxious!

Congrats RCP!!!!!! I am really happy for you!! Let the beginning, begin!

Yeii Betel!! I am happy for you, Congrats! We have about the same starting weight and goal weight! We can do this!

hi there, I am from NYC but I am pre-op so I am not sure if I am of any help. Are you exercising? Good Luck!!!!

and I am super:thumbup: excited. I tolerate pain extremely well so I am sure I will do well. I know everyone says that they will follow the suggested nutrition schedule and eat what they are suppose to but I know I will! I honestly blame MY weight on being LAZY. I was always fit and suddenly with out my noticing I stopped playing basketball, running, baseball, etc. I know this is going to be a new beginning and seeing my aunt go through her Gastric Bypass Surgery and losing 150 lbs and keeping it of for over 6 years is amazing. She is my role model and she has taught me so much. My aunt had an eating obsession and now she is addicted to being healthy and staying healthy. That is exactly the kind of lifestyle I want to maintain for the rest of my life. I am ready!

Yeii!! Congrats, welcome to the October club!!!!! I am so excited for you.

Hi everyone, I am 25 years old from NYC . I am a second year graduate student who currently works at a drug rehabilitation outpatient center. I was always fit but when I hit my junior year in High School I ballooned. College beer pong games and pizza did not help. I gained about 100 lbs in eight years, dont ask me how. Ive tried every diet known to man but nothing worked or I stopped caring because the guys I used to date all made me feel beautiful so my self esteem was always pretty high, hehe. One day, my sorority sisters and I had an Alumni dinner and of course we took pictures. well once the pictures were uploaded on to facebook, I realized wow, I need help. I did my research and decided that WLS is for me. I am happy with my decision and I just hope things will work out in all aspects of my super chubby life lol.

Congrats!!! :tongue2: I am super happy for you both! It is such a blessing.

Please add me to the Smashing Pumpkins' realm of love!! My surgery will be taking place on October 8th, 2008! Oooh yea!! Good luck everyone!!!! Renita I thought your signature pic is for all the 10/08/08'rs. I hope you dont mind me using it :tongue2: good luck!
