Is there anyone out there with a February surgery date? I found out last week that mine is on February 1. Was shooting for December 06, then hoping for January 07, now thankful it's finally set for February! My surgery is scheduled with Dr. Malley in Kansas City.

OK... Here's hoping I got everyone: :confused:

Hi Gang, I am on day 5 of the liquid diet and going gangbusters!:biggrin1: Susannah

Congrat's Susannah

That is great only 2wks 2days to go. I am starting my 4wks tomorrow.

Good Luck !! Terry

Was supposed to schedule today at the pre-op consult, but that got canceled due to the ice storm in Austin. 2 week delay might push me out of Feb.. :-(

Everything else is done...

I'm scheduled for February 12. I am sooooo nervous.

Debbie

CP-Mike: I feel for ya... I may be looking at APRIL! but I can hope.

Debbie: You'll do great!

Susannah: YOU GO GIRL!!!!! How exciting!

I am calling Dr. Ortiz today to schedule for Feb. 21. I have been looking into this since October 2005. My insurance won't cover it, so we are headed to Mexico. I am very excited. My husband is VERY supportive. We are actually going to make a vacation out of it and meet his parents in San Diego and visit Sea World, they will watch our daughter for the 3 days I will be in Mexico.

I am planning on returning to work the following Monday. I'll let you all know tonight if I get the date I am shooting for. :clap2:

not sure how I did this or will it how up again?

I see it Kedasmom!

Mom2Sassy: How exciting.. I wish my mom would just go to Mexico.. her insurance won't pay and I've been sending her all the links... If I could afford it I would just fly her down there and pay for it myself...

Thanks Tracey.....

YOUR Welcome Dori!!!!!!!!!!

Just came in from my bus run. Someday soon It will be alot easier checking those seats, fitting down that isle:cheer2:. My pre-tests are Jan.29th. I have to miss the morning run. I'm so excited, even these tests are looking good to me. I had to see a physiologist for my phobia of needles. He says I'm ready. I've had a few needles,one in the elbow, an IV, and blood drawing (can't exactly practice this). But I want it so bad that if I'm not ready they'll (Doctors) have to deal with it, or me.

TracyinKS - thanks for adding me to the list

I have to take a test tomorrow at the psychologists office... said the first half would be an interview and the second half a pencil test......I'm kind of freaking out about it now.... am I going to flunk????

Tracy you will be fine! Just be honest in giving your answers. At my consult the psychologist wanted to know why i thought I was over wieght, how I thought the band would help me, and we talked about was with how to deal with my emotions after surgery since I will not be able to eat my emotions away anymore. It was pretty painless and kind of nice to get out any fears that I had. My whole session was talking though I did not have to take an assement. Don't think of it as so much of a test but more of an assessment of who you are.

I was so forthcoming about myself that the psycologists had me seeing another psycologist (I hate being fat to the point I would rather be dead than have the health issues that my parents have). He didn't really understand why I was there. So we worked on my needle fear.
