Hey guys! I'm so excited. I finally got a surgery date for October 20, 2010. To date I've lost 14 pounds on the high protein shake diet. My nutritionist says I should lose between 80 to 110 pounds with surgery. It seems impossible but I'm willing to do my part. I realize that this surgery is a "tool" to become a healthier person. It's not a magic wand and I still have to work at it with following all the instructions, exercise, etc. My day is finally almost here and I am more than ready. I would appreciate all of your prayers! Thanks and God Bless!

Best of luck with everything!

I'll be right behind you...my date is Fri. Oct. 22nd. My pre-op is on your surgery date. We can be surgery buddies...and stay in touch!

Congrats!!!!! Very exciting!!! i'm hoping that my proposed surgery date goes thru and i'll be starting pre-op in exactly a month! fingers crossed that it all goes smoothly with my ins and i get my 12/13 date!!!! so glad things are finally moving for you!!!!
