Just wanted to share that I went to my consult with the surgeon today and was scheduled for 2/9! :woot:So now I'm really excited and nervous--ish just got real! Ok, now I have to be about the business of telling my parents and brother, and in-laws (well, I know I don't have to tell people, but I will). The in-laws will be here this weekend, so I'll be doing all of the cooking and none of the good eating It'll all be worth it though--yaaay!! :Banane09:

Woo hoo! Mine is scheduled for the 9th as well! Good luck to you, I am nervous too but we are going to be in the loser club....yay for us!!! :biggrin2:

Wishing you both the very best!

Congrats! You're getting sleeved on my birthday so I know things are going to go great! Good luck!

And that's my son's birthday! Congrats!!...and congrats on your decision! You will do great!

Thanks guys! I guess this will be sort of a rebirth-day for me to share with you: Lilee and your son: Vance my actual b-day is 2/14, and I think this is a pretty cool gift to myself! I'll be sure to check in afterwards...

Hey! You're almost there! Don't know about you but I have butterflies already (won't be any room for them soon!!! haha) and my surgery isn't til 2/13!! AHHHHHHH!!!!! So nervous but so excited!!! Keep us posted how it goes for you on the 9th!

Congrats!!!

I love how supportive everyone is here...and the quick replies I'd spend so much time worrying about how my parents would react when I told them--even had a dream about it--and they were super cool! All kinds of do what makes you happy, life's too short type stuff! YAY!

Awesome!! Very exciting....good luck with everything and Happy Birthday to you what a great present :-)

CONGRATS!!!! :purplebananna:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That is an awesome birthday present for yourself!

I'm having my surgery that day as well, flying from Alaska to Seattle. It's so exciting but I can't help but be nervous at the same time.

Thanks, y'all! Had a dream last night that I was at this big delicious buffett and there was nothing that I was allowed to eat! It's funny cuz I felt pretty good last night after my first day of pre-op dieting--and my diet is a little more lenient than some I've seen. Guess my mind is trying to adjust already...

I'm wishing you all well for your surgeries next week!! Yahooo!!

Thanks, Diva!!

I'm getting sleeved exactly a week after you are!!!!!! I'm very excited for you.

Have you not cheated once on your pre-op diet? I've been doing all shakes and have knocked three days out without cheating - I'm quite proud of myself. Seriously missing solid food though!

Please keep us posted on how you're feeling afterward.
