WELL! I just got back a couple of hours ago from meeting and consulting with Dr. Nicholson and we have a surgery scheduled for June 1st at 11:30am!!! I FLOATED OUT OF THE DOCTORS OFFICE I WAS SO HAPPY! I start the pre-op slim fast diet on May 20th, so I have just one more week to eat my favorite things before it's down to business.

Dr. Nicholson was caring and kind and hilarious and made me extremely comfortable and confident in my decision. He has a black eye from his 8 year old practicing karate on him, so cute.

This is actually happening. I can't wait to join the sleeved. Oh happy day!

Lori

Congrat's on your setting your date. I felt the same way the day I set mine. I tell everyone that my surgery is set for May 19th and I can't wait. Good luck with the diet.

Congratulations, very exciting news! I remember that feeling of disbelief that I had my date set.

YAYAYAY!!!

Though the slim fast thing sounds like crap. I hate that stuff lol.

Good luck and congrats!

Congratulations! There is something so perfect about it being the 1st of the month! A whole new beginning! Will be thinking of you.

Yay!! It's so exciting to get a surgery date. I know I will be floating when I get mine as well lol. What can you have on the slim fast pre-op diet? Do you just drink those instead of protein shakes?

Lori,

I am so happy for you!!

I am still waiting for my surgery date.. Saw the nutritionist yeserday.

I have a psych eval next Wednesday.. I hope to join you on the "approved" bench soon..

Congratulations!!

Congrats!!! I am scheduled for the 8th and feel your anticipation. Thinking about putting together a DFW meet & greet.... interested?

Gratz!!! I'm happy for you. I get sleeved 3 days after you. I'll look forward to your progress. Best of luck.

Hi Lori...congrats to you!

I will be starting my own journey in July and I was floating the other day when I got my date. I still am.

There are high protein choices in the slim fast pre-op diet. I am allowed two meal shakes or bars, THREE snack bars, and a small meal for dinner. All in all, it doesn't seem so bad! Let's see how I feel after I actually have to start, though...haha.

Are you having it done in Forest Park? Please update because mine is on the 9th at Forest Park and I would love to know your experience with the place. Enjoy the rain and congrats.

Yes it is at Forest Park and I will be sure to let you know how it goes!

How exciting for you. I must admit, I went a little crazy with my "Last Suppers", but got down to business on the pre-op.

This is the beginning of a whole new you!

Congrats you are on your way!

Congrats!!
