Well, here I am with my date for surgery and it's a lot further away than I had hoped but scheduled nonetheless. My date is July 3rd, 2013. I have my PreOp class on June 18th. They gave me two dates in June but both coincided with my sister's pregnancy dates (baby shower and birth) and since my mom will be taking care of both of us (in two different states) I waited on mine until July. It's not as quick as I had hoped but I'm glad it's scheduled and I'm on my way :-)

Blessings,

Chris

Alright! I knew there had to be more of us lol. I start my 2 week optifast diet on 7/9. This is feeling more real as it gets closer but I have so many appts. Scheduled before the surgery, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with the time I have to take off from work. I have a 2 hour exercise class, a 4 hour education class, preop testing appt, optifast class and a final appt with the surgeon. These are all on different days. This with the time off for surgery will wipe out all of my leave time but I think it is worth it. .

Hi there everyone

Its going down on July 29th. I am nervous and excited. I am getting last minute stuff like liquid vitamins baby dishware. I got to move a bit more so exercise will become a priority for me. I been watching the carb in take so I guess I am ok there.

Hey guys! Sorry it has taken so long to respond. I've been consumed by funerals they last couple days. My cousins (22 & 23) were killed in an auto accident last Saturday. We buried them yesterday. Very trying and incredibly sad.

With that being said; I'm excited for surgery but just coming through this death process I question whether I'm making a sound decision for me and my family. Life is so precious and can't be over on the blink of an eye. Maybe I'm just still super emotional from the past several days and I hope it passes soon so I'm back on track.

Peace

sorry to hear of your loss hun

That's weird... I have my surgery on July 3rd as well. I am in the pcola area and using lord. I can hardly wait!!! I felt a little deflated when they told me my surgery is in July. Thought it would be sooner

Hi. I'm in the right forum. I'm scheduled for July 10th.

Hey July Guys! So, does anyone else feel like they are totally obsessed with WLS? I feel like its all I can think about!! Sometimes my mood and demeanor is just total bitch! I feel like I've constantly got this running "what ifs..." running through my head. Does it get better, the anxiety and stress, after surgery? Will my mind ever be mine to think of anything else again?

i am bummed...i just recieved a call from surgeons office...they need to postpone my surgery that was suppose to be july 16....to august 20 im so mad....they said its because there has to be 2 surgeons in OR and that day conflicts with the other surgeons schedule... -=(

I should know my July date tomorrow! Look forward to interacting with everyone on here.

Yes, yes, and yes! This has been such a long process I would have thought I would have run out of what if scenarios instead I come up with new ones everyday lol..

I agree. My dr wants a 3 wk. Preop diet. All I've been thinking is protein counts and wls! ....food good byes...

I'm worried that I can't remember it all. My vitamins, protein counts, dos and donts. The what ifs......then b mom, wife, etc. Doubts want to Come in. But I'm ready!
