Met with the doc today. Love her! I was able to set my date for September 12. Those who have heard me talk about this I was hoping for the 10th and it would have been cool to get it since I wanted it for the past six months. I could have had it if I wanted afternoon surgery but the doc and I both agreed that this would not go over well with me and my already anxious and neurotic self.

Pre op diet is 48 hours. I think I may do 7 days. Maybe not.

ummmmm. Oh they sent me over for more labs, my EKG (healthy ticker) and chest x ray. All set to go.

The best part (besides the weight loss) is 4 weeks off of work. Love her even more than I did the first time I said it

Yey!!!!!!

WARNING: I will be (and I mean this in The most sincere way) a complete basket case that morning. Those poor poor nurses

I am right there with you on the 10th though. My daughter is taking me in, so she will be so ready to dump my butt.....then I get 4 weeks off from work....that part will be nice in helping me get used to my new stomach. so looking forward to this...I've told my boss that I am sorry I have not been here 100% but I'm so damn preoccupied with this surgery, that i can't help it - thank goodness he's so understanding and is excited for this for me as well. 13 more days......

It's all I think about. Now that I have a date- I must admit- I'm a tad freaked out :/

I am do happy for you!

I met again with my doc today too. Looks like I will not be sleeved until Monday, Oct 8. He has to be out now in late September, and said he wants to be in town while I recover. 40 days or so is not that bad.... I have insurance approval. Taking this time to walk, eat better and try to loose some more.

So happy for you!

Awwww that's a bummer but you're right- only 40 days. In the grand scheme of it all- that is also right around the corner. How r u doing - r u on the liquid diet? I was down 4 pounds. Not sure why.

Thank u for your comments. I truly do find comfort in my contacts on here.

Hey- you'll be having surgery 3 days before I go back to work!

Thank you again

Wow!!! I'm excited for you! It only hurts for a little while... Remember that! You will do wonderfully! I'm 8 days post op and feel pretty good! I had a massage yesterday and sat in the steam room. I highly recommend it when you're feeling up to it. That probably will be when you take the pain ball out! Message me, if you have any questions! I'm looking forward to hearing your progress. I haven't weighed yet. I'm trying to wait until I go to the doctor next week for my first follow up! But, I can wear a few things that were on their way to Goodwill a few months ago. Woohoo!
