I'm so excited to be this close to surgery. I don't have a date yet. I go back to the surgeon on Jan. 8, 2014. I expect we will set a date then (hopefully). January 29 ends the 3 month "diet" period. So I think I'm looking at surgery in February.

I am really excited! I think it's the only reason I'm not the worst most ornery bitch right now. Hahaha.

I'm so excited to be healthy and rid of this fat.

Me too! Me too! Me too!! Shersun, it's you, then me, then SJ. Right in a row. And I'm like a kid about to get to wake up and see what Santa left for her!!!

YES!! This is totally how I feel.

Me too! I'm the 17th!! Can't wait!

You don't have a date yet?!?!? I thought by now you had surgery?! I just started reading this thread but didn't finish! I will go back to page 2 so I can finish reading everything! Good luck to you! Kb88

Thanks so much! Same to you. And nope, not yet. It's been quite the long process. But I am getting there! The next step is meeting with the surgeon, which will be sometime this month. Hoping for an early March surgery date!

Hi there! I'm from Inland Empire also! From East Highland area! My surgery is for March 7th.

Nice! Where are you having surgery? So you must be right around St. Bernardine's. That's where mine's going to be.

I am excited as well. SOOO very excited! Anyone have any dreams about the surgery at all? Oh man, I had the most REALISTIC dream last night. It felt so real. It was basically me laying on the operating table and them giving the anesthesia to knock me out, then before I knew it I "woke up" and the surgery was over and was a success. But the weird thing is that I "felt" the stomach pain in my dream. It was soo realistic. I've never had surgery before so I think it's just the unknown that kinda freaks me out! Not knowing how I will feel when I wake up... stuff like that.

What time is your surgery? Mine is 2pm the 17th. I wish it was all over.

We're all going to have to be support for each other to , cheer each on and also to be a shoulder/ear when we need it. We know it isn't going to be a cake walk but it can help when we have someone who is going through the same thing as we are at the same time (give or take a day or 2).

SJ, Glitter, SF and me (Sherry) will be walking that path to health and how great it will be to buy clothes in the normal size section for the 1st time. I hope other people can join in to help.

They haven't given me a time yet. I guess the hospital will call this Friday with the time. Eeeek! It's getting real now!!

I'm definitely on board for supporting each other. It'll be nice to have someone going through the same stuff. I am hoping I can post once I'm out of recovery.

I can't wait to never shop at Lane Bryant again!!

I also have the surgery on Feb 17th at 7am!! I am so excited and nervous. I joined this forum because I have no one here that I can share this experience with. Everyone I know is thin and doesn't understand what our struggle is like. I've been overweight all my life and look forward to a healthy future. Almost a week away.... Aaaahhhh!

Mine will call Friday, too, with the time. Usually it's the day before, but since Monday is a holiday it'll be Friday.

So far it's been very information and loads of questions and fears answered, what a great support system????

Welcome Law001. We have a group of us close in date. I'm the 17th, Leigh in SC is the 18, so is superfatty and Sara Jane is the 19th. I have to write down the couple others since I have to keep every ones dates straight.

I'm Sherry but shersun is on my profile. WELCOME! We all can do this.

Hi! I'm from NYC but live I LI now and will be having my surgery (if insurance approves it) on 2/15 @ Mather Hospital.
Would love some support buddies
