My surgery is 8 days away and Im really excited!

I'm really excited to be starting life anew. I start the pre-op diet tomorrow and while I kind of dread it, I really am looking forward to it. I did my shopping today so I'll be ready!

OMG I am so over the top that I can hardly think about anything else!!! I am READY!!! Just added a post to by YouTube Channel too, it's really exciting!!!

so excited!!! 8 days away, shopping is all done, now its just excitement and nerves!

I'm ready too - finally got my approval and am on the pre-op low-carb diet, so I say bring it on!

July 5th is my date! Only SEVEN days left, that's just ONE WEEK AWAY!!!! I'm excited, nervous, happy, scared, you name it! I don't know if I've had this many emotions jumbled up at one time since I was preggo with my first kid! Of course, mostly, happy & excited... but the teeny, weeny little doubting voice in the back of my mind pipes in every now and then ....((Not a REAL voice! Don't worry I passed my psych eval! LOL))

I've been on a liquid diet for a week now and I guess it hasn't been so bad! I've "cheated" a little but mostly w'/ veggies & fresh fruit, so I don't consider it 'cheating' so much... I mean, if unsweetened applesauce is on the diet, why not a couple raspberries or strawberries? I mean, I'm not going out and getting the Whopper w/ cheese I've been CRAVING like crazy the last three days! I'm not worried about it, I'm still loosing weight so whatever!

Anyway, congrats fellow *****FIRECRACKERS****!! Our time is close... in fact, the whole nation is celebrating with us

LOSERS BENCH WATCH OUT! HERE WE COME!!!!!

I am more than ready Just 8 more days!!! I am very excited and all but it is strange...... I have this calm that has come over me in the last couple of days. I am not at all nervous or scared. Upon going to my final surgeon's appointment, he was amazed how much knowledge I had and he stated that I had really done my homework. I told him, when you have been jumping through the hoops for 8 months, you have plenty of time to do all the research you need! Let's just say move over on that "Losers Bench" the July Firecrackers are coming!!!

I am soooo ready too!! I got all the pre-op testing done yesterday so I am officially ready to go!!

I ready! On day two of my pre-op diet. I have 13 days until surgery. I'm so psyched about this, that today while shopping on vacation, I bought my souvenir shirts in a size L, instead of my normal 2X. I know I will be able to wear the L in a few months.

I can't wait guys. I'm so excited. :whoo:

i am too! 29 days and counting!

Me too!!! July 13th cant get here fast enough!!!

Gratz! to all. I have a penciled in date but... I am still waiting on Aetna. Every time I call they say... We just received your precert. You aren't even in the system yet. They told me it might take up to 30 days. That will put me right before the penciled in date...

I was excited and looking forward to it until I heard about the lady who died with Dr. Kelly. Now, I'm nervous & scared. I imagine that I'll be going back & forth between all the feelings there are until it's over with. I get to go on vacation to the beach with some friends before I have to start the pre-op diet. So, I'll try my best to enjoy the end of the old me & get ready to welcome in the new me.

I am SO ready! My head is totally in the game. I will be turning 43, 13 days after my surgery and this is my big gift to myself. First year with no cake and ice cream! Just a birthday protein shake!

I am beyond ready! I am actually the one who started the first June thread because I thought that'd be my month. Now it appears I'll (hopefully) be a firecracker instead. My approval from Highmark BCBS (WV) is only good through August 19th so I hope they hurry and get me scheduled! I'll let you all know when I get a date. Please continue to keep us posted as everyone goes through surgery!

I'd better be ready. IT'S TIME!

Just finished packing. Hubby and I are flying to San Antonio tomorrow to meet Dr Alvarez' driver who will take us to Eagle Pass. Then it's over the border for surgery Friday a.m.

I can't believe I'll be on The Other Side so soon! Yay me.
