Hey all! I looked around and couldn't find anything for June surgeries. I don't have my exact date yet, but it will be the 1st or 2nd week of June!! Sooo excited!! I had my lap band out on April 18th and they were supposed to do the bypass, but they weren't able to due to scar tissue. I saw my surgeon today and all should be a go for June! Yay!!!! RNY here I come!!!

Time for a a little Q&A!

What is everyone's biggest dream out of getting RNY in June?? -- maybe wear a pair of shorts' date=' just be skinny, or even to spark some extra fun in your relationship with your new (hopefully more flexible) body?? haha

Mine is to FINALLY not be "the fat girl". Holy moly am I ever excited to drop that title! Lol as long as I can even remember, I've always been the token day girl in every room.

My 2nd is to be able to buy a "normal" Halloween costume from an actual costume shop. For years I have been inventing my own and I can't wait to just buy one and feel like a hot honey! [/quote']

1. Normal blood pressure and stopping those medications.

2. Shop in "normal" stores. I am only 5'2" and at 224 lbs it is very hard to shop and look cute.

3. My secret of all dreams is to get pregnant next year and have a baby. I have been married 15 years and never been pregnant. I am 41 so I am already pushing it but it is my most inner desire. Having gone thru multiple rounds of invetro and suffering from pcos, I really pray and hope this is my cure and answer.

4. To feel sexy again.

One thing I am totally excited to do is a boudoir photo shoot for my finances wedding gift after I hit goal weight. I won't start planning our wedding until I know I will be skinny and look pretty in my dress. Lol pathetic, I know.[/quote']

That's basically my exact scenario. Got engaged in September and realized I can't have the wedding of my dreams inside this bodacious body.

I'm only twenty three and haven't been able to get pregnant within the past year which I know is attributed to my weight. I can't wait to be a small cute pregnant girl and I'm praying you get that as well!! Best of luck!

I want to be able to wear my original engagement ring and wedding band. Haven't had them on since halfway through first pregnancy and I never got them resized.

I want to be able to really enjoy hiking with my kids. Not have them stopping every so often to let me catch up.

I want my asthma to GO AWAY! Hate not being able to breath and I despise inhalers.

I want my acid reflux to stop.

I want to be able to throw on jeans and a tee shirt and not feel like I need to pull and stretch the material to get it to fit right.

I want to be able to dress up for cocktails with a dress I pulled off the rack at a normal store and not have to spend days searching for a sequin dress made like a tent.

I want to be at work and not break a sweat while everyone else is wearing long sleeve of jackets.

I want to wear pretty bra and panty sets. I don't care how much they try; a 44DD bra will always be built like your grandma's bra.

@iamworthit, I am praying for you and to give you hope, every woman I know that has had WLS, got pregnant well after losing all the weight, heck, it even scared me, LOL....It's your season girl, you will have your child.

I am from Pittsburgh, PA! (GO Steelers!!!) lol and I know what you mean. It makes me feel like I won't be alone on the chopping block come D-day. Lol I'm so excited I can't stand it! I went through my lap band removal surgery 2 months ago only to wake up and find out they couldn't do my RNY in the same surgery, so here I go again! Lol I DID find the silver lining though--- we got a new boss at work and he is (no lie) the devil. So while he figured himself out, I'll be lounging out at home! Haha[/quote']

I'm from Pittsburgh!!! What surgeon? I think we're June 5 buddies too.

Kristlynngirl,

My surgeon is Anita Courcoulus at Magee! Love. Her! Who are you going to??

I'm already married, and my husband tells me I'm sexy, but I just want to really truly believe that. When he says it, I question how could anyone find me sexy? :-( So I guess what I really want is some high self-esteem.

Talk about last minute freak out. My surgeon hurt his back and can't operate so his partner is taking over. My surgery will now be a day later on June 6 and I won't meet the surgeon until morning off. Luckily, he's done several of my friends surgeries so I know I can trust him!

Yay!!! I go to my pre-op class tomorrow morning and get my labs done after that! I still can't believe it's happening!!! Where r u? I'm in Virginia. Wannabe' date=' where r u? Although u guys might not be near me I like knowing someone else having it the same day as me!!! Comforting sort of. Ya know?! :-)

I'm in Virginia. Found out yesterday my surgery is at 10. I had my pre-op class/appt today. Lots of info!!! It all seems a bit overwhelming at times but I remind myself that TONS of people have this surgery and they work it out and so will I! :-)

Hey there Aba. My class was today and packed with info!! Overwhelming but I know I can handle this. I was there with two other women - one one the same day as me & same surgeon. I also did all my labs today. No pre-op diet. Just told to eat light three days before surgery!

I just had my last set of appointments today and from the doctors' standpoints I am cleared for surgery! I should hear in about two weeks if insurance approves me. I could technically get a May date, but as a teacher I will need to push it to June during summer! I'm so excited and ready to lose!

GOOD JOB!! YOU GO GIRL!! I CANT WAIT MYSELF. I HAVE MY PRE-OP APPT ON THE 12TH...HOPEFULLY I GET A JUNE DATE!!

Hi! My biggest dream is to be able to wear shorts/skirt without feeling ashamed that people are looking at how thick my legs are(also the fact my thighs rubs each other). But my biggest dream of all is being able to go to different stores and not having to quickly see their biggest size in store. Yesterday I went to the mall and I saw all the colorful clothes, smaller size that I will be able to use next summer. I cannot wait!! WAY TO EXCITED
