I'm having the surgery one week from today!! So excited, nervous, and scared. June 7th is my day with Dr Patel San Antonio. I've been on this website nonstop. Guess this will be my new addiction :thumbup:

Hello All, I have just completed my requirements and am scheduled for June 9 Im so excited and scared

Hi, I got a surgery date of June 15. I am excited but nervous at the same time. I am so looking forward to being able to move around better. I attempted to do a simple Yoga routine this morning and couldn't believe how stiff I was. Mostly I just ended up doing the stretches, which actually felt good. I have a desk job so way too much time sitting on my behind which has caused me to have lower back pain. Grrrrrr, I really hate being so heavy because everything hurts!

Good luck on your surgery, I hope all goes smoothly. Soon we will all be on the "other side"! :001_tt2:

I believe I am booked for June 29th. I have to confirm that tomorrow when the nurse gets in but I am too excited to wait!!! Maybe they will be able to bump me up!!!

I know how you feel sunnyinaz, i am only 33 and should not have this much joint pain, but when you have to carry around all this extra weight, it takes a toll on your body, i even have a foot spur...i mean that is mostly found in older ppl, but then also obese ppl too, so that would be my problem, i am hoping that i will help my joints a lot and i also have PCOS..hoping it will aleveate some of the symtoms as well...hard to lose weight because of it...good luck everyone, day 3 of my pre-op diet...surgery date...June 5th!!!

Dr. Aceves June 5

I will b having my surgery on June19TH!!!!

Scared but ready.:ohmy:

As I get closer to my June 9th date my emotions change from day to day...even hour to hour. It feel very unreal for me at this point and maybe that is why there is no fear at all about having some guy who I only met once or twice cut out a large part of my stomach. I think that is a little of it. But mostly I feel like I have educated myself by reading and talking to others who are on the other side of the process that I feel like I know what to really expect and, for the most part, how to deal with any issues that come up.

However, being self pay and having 4 kids and a limited income, I have been dealing with guilt over getting myself into more debt to pay for this surgery. On one hand this feel very selfish but on the other, I know it will improve my health and that will benefit everyone in my family.

Hurry up June 9th.

I'm in! VSG on June 2nd - 2 days!

June 8th!!!! Good luck to all

i have mine scheduled for June 21st! EEK! It can't come soon enough

June 21st here, good luck

I started my pre op diet today, which is working out just fab (not) as I have my last pre op xray this afternoon, so can't eat or drink anything for 6 hrs prior to that!!

Good luck to you all!!
