Congrats! Don't worry about having a post with errors. You can edit your post I know. I have to do it all the time. Its a button at the bottom of your post that says, well, EDIT. Teehee. I don't know how to delete it though.

I wouldnt worry about it, you are just sooo excited, who can blame you! I screw up all the time and just edit it. Congrats again!

Thank you!!!! I noticed you are almost to Goal in 9 months!!! AMAZING! Congrats! I wanted to ask about your exercise because I am so worried about the loose skin from losing so fast. I'm worried I won't be able to work out to keep up with the weight loss or maybe I can and am just over thinking it or worrying i'll look like a blob of skin on my stomach.

My main problem is my stomach and chest..my arms aren't horribly big, and my legs are actually fairly in shape.

I will get a tummy tuck if i need it but God would I love to not have to do that. I am lucky enough to have my age on my side, at 27 my skin still has a good elasticity to it.

Thanks for the support!

Actually I'm going later this evening to the hospital (since my DR. is out of state) to do my lab work, EKG, and Chest X-Ray. I live in Ga but am having my surgery done in Louisiana. My best friend lives there and is going to help me during recovery. I'm so excited!!!!

You have nothing to worry about with the pre admit testing! Idk exactly what tests you have to get done but the only other thing I can think of would be an EGD(upper endoscopy). That's nothing major really either.

Let me know how your testinng goes and when you go!

Good luck and stay excited and positive!

My pre admit testing is on Monday at 730am. I should get more excited after that :-)

How did Ur test go?

Kelly

I'm a day before you. July 24th!!! I'm so excited, this date cannot get here fast enough.

I had to pass all my medical tests before I got a date. Blood tests, x-ray, ekg and upper endoscopy. I also had to do a stress test because my ekg was slightly abnormal. The Upper Endoscopy was more than I thought it would be. It's a minor surgery with gowns and IVs and operation rooms and everything. At least mine was. It wasn't bad at all but you have to take a day off work.
