Good Luck, I'm sure everything will be A-Okay. I just registered and have my first Dr. Appointment the 22nd and you are going in for Surgery then. How long did it take from your first Dr. Appt until your Surgery date if you don't mind my asking?

BTW it's only natural to be scared, it's a TOTAL change of lifestyle. One for the better.

Good for you. I hope to be right behind you. If you were not nervous I would be worried.

August 22nd for me too!!! Today I was super excited, tonight.....not so much. I am sick of these protein drinks and I feel if I drink any more water, I am gonna blow! I have a range of emotions regarding Monday. I hope things get easier and does not feel so weird after a while. Good luck to you!!!

Good luck! I am being banded Wed. I am scared too and also excited!

Thanks less than 24 hours to the beginning of a new me

Just think maybe by Christmas I could shop in the regular store and cross my legs

Nervous, happy, excited

I have been going to NYU since last summer, I decided to have the surgery in March of this year and lucky since I have so many docs ( for my neuropathy, asthma and other chemo related side effects I see at least one doc a month so getting the 6 months was no problem.

I had to take 2 months off for a broken foot (april 1 triped over my feet)

And was 6 pounds too light for the BMI of 40 that Blue Cross Blue Shield requires so lucky I have mild sleep apena…once NYU could say I had sleep apean I was approved within 2 days and had a surgery date in three weeks

It has been a long journey but now it’s too fast

I am a few days behind you I get mine on friday I totally understand all the emotions you are going thru.....just breath thats all you can do is when you get worked up stop and just breath. YOU will do great and I can not wait to hear how your doing!
