I have really been reading up and studying about having this surgery and will soon have my first appointment with the surgeon. One of the many things that drew my attention to what everyone is saying is that this surgery is like a new beginning or a new chance at life. How exciting! Therefore, I think we should Celebrate our day of surgery as a very special BIRTHDAY!

What do you think? How shall we celebrate?

I'm with you on that one Violet. I will celebrate by 1. having surgery 2. eating healthy 3. buying smaller clothes 4. being active in life rather than a spectator.

Ditto on the new clothes! And shopping means lots of walking for the exercise, too! Looking forward to pretty clothes that fit right.

Many people on this site refer to it as their surgiversary.

Surgiversary! Guess I have seen that...makes more sense, really. Good idea.
