I think I counted 36 wow! Now we need to keep a tally about that that have achieved their surgery soooooooo

8/36 and counting

I completely agree with you Jessica. We should start a September thread for post-po. We can definately support each other all the way through this amazing change.

I will ask about having our thread moved in Novenmber don't want to start all over and lose the beginning history

5 more days!!!! Nervous, excited all at the same time!!!

Good luck and congratulations to everybody! I hope you're all great! I'm so nervous and ready to get surgery over. I weight 280lbs right now. I haven't lost any pre-op. I gained 15 in the last 2 months. Ugg. Can't seem to drop it like I could a few years ago. My doctor only requires a 4 day liquid diet, though I'm considering adding a few days for good measure.

Congrats to the people that have had surgery, between yesterday and today! Hope y'all have a super speedy recovery!!

And good luck to those who have surgery tomorrow!!

Can't wait to see how everyone does!!

Post op with my surgeon and the hospital tomorrow. Very ready and nervous. 13 days till surgery and counting....

And as for a pre op diet my surgeron doesn't require one. Just eat light the day before surgery and have a bowel movement. Sounds pretty easy. Lol I have ONE week left!! 7 days!! Eeeeeee!

Hi everyone..real name is Deborah. I had my surgery yesterday. It went good. My starting weight was 268...my pre op weight was 242....they weighed me last night and i was 249, they said normal because all of the iv fluids and everything. Well i just got home...im sore! Hopefully my medicine starts kicking in.

So Surgery is on the 10th and they were supposed to call me today with my surgery time. Guess what no call, I called the office twice and left a message with the surgical nurse who schedules the surgeries and the PA who works with the doctor. And nothing, I am sure everything is ok but in the back of my mind I am freaking out thinking they forgot about me or my surgery was never actually scheduled or something BAHHHHHHHHHHHH, so kind of freaking out a BIT.

Hi Deborah! Great to hear from you and happy to know you're doing well. I pray you have a speedy and pain-free recovery! Congratulations!!

I tried to add a pic and it didn't work LOL

This is me in 2005 at my lowest weight 170 which was achieved by mainly starving myself I had failed at every other diet I had tried in the past!!

This was the pic that scared me and kick started my search into exploring wls! Highest wt 284!!
