Got a date! December 14...the first day of the rest of my life!

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!

Linda, prayers coming back your way too!

Sarita, I'm excited and nervous. I try to focus on everything but the surgery and post op so I don't get bogged down in the "what ifs" that I'm so good at fretting about! I spent today trying to think about why I decided on this venture to begin with. I wish you the best of luck and will pray for your success as well!

Hi, I am going in on the 15th and am not sure how I am feeling. One minute I am freaking out thinking this is crazy, what am I doing to myself, the next minute I am excited about the end result. My two week preop has been really easy so I know I will cope with the post op diet, but I think I am struggling with the irreversible side. I am filled with so many thoughts, nerves, being excited, doubts, I am a all over the place a bit!! Good luck to everyone else who is getting sleeved, in the next day or so, I look forward to hearing about your experiences!!

Congrats to those of you getting sleeved in the next day or two. Linda, I am having knee surgery on the 15th. I have decided not to have any more surgeries for two years and then I will probably do the tummy tuck, upper arm batwing, and putting the girls back where they are supposed to be surgery.:drool5:

Tomorrow is the big day for us all love and prayers to each and everyone of my international sleever buddies nervous but excited

Hey Chilli - sleeve buddies or sleeve sisters as Tracy called it! Less than 12 hours till I leave for the hospital early tomorrow morning. Hope we are all back here in a day or two posting our stories and telling everyone how good we feel and how well it's going.

Hard to imagine what it's going to be like post-surgery, but at least we have some idea thanks to all those who have come before us and posted their stories.

Talk to you all soon,

Sarita

It won't be long at all now. Best of luck to you and we look forward to hearing how you guys are doing.

Good luck to all of those having surgery this week! :bananajump: Looking forward to hearing how you're all doing!
