So, it's off to Walt Disney World tomorrow, preop diet on November 30, and surgery on December 14. I had my consult today, and I really like my surgeon, Dr. Nicholson. I'm so energized by this decision (for now...I'll be nervous again later..ha!).

Thanks to everyone for the amazing support that enables us folks to make an educating decision based on firsthand experience. This message board is a true blessing!

YAY YAY I'm so excited for you. You should be on either full liquids or mushies by the time I get to Texas so hopefully we'll still get to meet up with you.

Have fun at Disneyland - relax and ENJOY yourself - don't think about what's coming around the bend - and if you're sure this what you want to do and you like your doctor, then there's no reason to be nervous!

Tiff, even if she's on Clear Liquids, you can still meet - someplace is bound to have chicken noodle Soup or something along those lines! The fun part will be the MEETING!!!

I am still totally onboard for our Texas lunch! It will be the proverbial icing on my new "cake"!

Day two preop diet. Not so bad. I was surprised that I wasn't that hungry! I'm ready to "get this party started." Sure, I say that, but I'm still so darn nervous. I'll just be glad when I wake up from the surgery and start my new way of life!

Hey my date is dec 14th too!! In houston Texas

Great news! There are several of us going in on Monday. The preop diet has been going really well. I've been out to eat several times and have not cheated at all. I have a really bad headache though. Could be from NO carbs. My body is freaking out! Good luck to all!

Glad to hear your pre-op is going well. Monday is coming up fast. Good luck! You won't need it but I will give it anyway. Dr. Nick is wonderful!!

Thanks, Linda! I definitely need all the luck and prayer I can get! You look tremendous, and I know you must feel it too! Way to go! I can't wait to be on that side of surgery!

Prayers on surgery day are always a must. I will be sure to send several your way. Do the same for me....I am having knee surgery (other knee - "second verse, same as the first") next Wednesday.

You will love your sleeve after it heals. I love eating small quantities (I love it most of the time) and enjoy shrinking out of my clothes. I feel great!

Three more days for all us Dec 14thers!! Everyone keeps asking if i'm nervous but I don't think I am - I just feel happy and excited. How do the rest of you feel?
