Hello everyone! I wanted to go ahead and start an August surgery group. With everyone's date rolling in, I figured it was time! My surgery is August 2 and I am nervous and excited, but mostly ready to be done!!! How about everyone else?

I am at presby downtown. I'm on the other side of Charlotte:) congrats girls! We should arrange some type of meet up at some point

Have you been attending the support group meetings each month? I've been to every one since Jan...except for June's.

June was the only one I went to. I work 2nd shift so it's hard for me to get off and go.

Got a call today. Insurance approved the surgery. Definite date of August 27th. Pre-surg appointments all on August 9th. Excited and nervous. 2 week semi-liquid diet (Boost glucose control shakes 4x/day with 3 oz chicken breast and 1 cup non-starchy veggies each dinner.)

Sounds good to me! I'd love to make connections with people locally who are going through the same thing.

Me too. I don't know many people my age to talk to. That's why I have loved reading this forum.
