Hi to everyone, I'm a little shy so this is my first time ever posting on a forum. I havn't had surgery yet, but I have been scheduled for July 26th. My surgery will be in Juarez Mexico with Dr Rodriguez. I am a little nervous, but so so so excited at the same time. It's exciting to think that very soon I'll be able to start a new life thats full of possibilities and my weight will no longer hold me back. I feel like I'm getting a chance to become the person that I was created to be. I don't have many friends or family that understand how limiting obesity is or why I have chosen to have the surgery. So my hope is to make a few friends here that can relate. Three months seems like FOREVER! Does or did anyone else feel like this once that got their surgery date? It seems like time has slowed almost to a hault. lol

hi cheryl... i feel your pain about the date being far away lol. i'm sched for june 7 and made that decision at the end of march. but the time will get here soon. i only told the people in my office that i'm going to Mexico, i'll tell more people after the surgery. like you, i've found out not everyone in your life will be supportive of this decision. but i'm doing it for me.

Hi mina,

Thanks for replyingto my post! You guys have made me fee lso much better about my decision. So who's your doctor? When do you have to start your pre op diet? I have to be on mine at least a month. What about you? Good luck with your surgery and keep me posted. One month to go you must be getting excited!
