MY date hasn't been set yet. I have to lose another 20 pounds. Any other time it wouldn't be hard to do, but this time I just can't stick with it!! I know I'm ready but can't figure out the hold-up!!

Just confirmed my appointment with the surgeon for 3/10/14!!!!! It seems so real now. I mean, I made up my mind and sat with my husband and discussed all of this and what it means, what I will have (and want) to do, and all the risks and benefits. Now that the surgeon appt is on the books.... It's something I can't wait for, and I'm excited and nervous and scared at the same time.

I feel the same way. I am nervous and excited at the same time. It felt real when I received my surgery date. I am scheduled for February 18th. Good luck on your journey.

Good luck to you as well. This is my very first appointment. So surgery is probably still "in the distance"... I am hoping maybe mid may, early June. Keep us posted on your surgery. Many happy thoughts and prayers and love sent to you!!!

Just wanted to update everyone..... My surgery is set for May 22,2014!!! I just found out this afternoon. I am so excited and nervous and full of emotion. I have to lose 10 lbs before the surgery and I am already starting to eat off of the pre-op diet. Here's to the official start of the new me, new life, new lifestyle!! I hope all is well with each of you. And I do apologize for not checking in sooner. Life has been bull dozing me over lately.

Hi I am new to this site too. Will be going for RNY on Friday! Am excited but nervous! Will be having my surgery done at Mt. Sinai in Manhatten, Ny.

I was just wondering how you are doing??? Pre op weight loss was tough for me too. I discovered that a breakfast protein shake made all the difference, no matter what I did the rest of the day. Once I gave into the shakes. I lost 14lbs in 2 weeks.
