So I have my surgery date for the 6th October 2014, sososo excited! Yet strangely nervous. I'm kind of in the "food funeral" stage at the moment, feel sort of guilty. So I have 2 months to slap myself into gear. Anyone else with an October date?

Congratulations! I'm sure you both will do well giving up smoking. You've already taken steps to better your life, what's one more? Keep us posted on your success!

Good luck JenW~79 , I'm feeling the same way. Finally did all pre op appointments and as I get closer to the 1st the reality is really setting in. How long is your hospital stay post op?

Scheduled for October 21, 2014 in Tiajuana Mexico with doctor Jose Rodriguez with Belite weightloss. Super exited and nervous! 25/8 all I do is think about my surgery. I read everything I get my hands on concerning WLS. I've never wanted something so bad and at the same time be so nervous and afraid of wanting it! Wishing all of you a safe and successful surgery!

Nikalex, I'm in Tijuana on the 24th with Dr. Rodriguez. I'm also nervous and excited. I feel good about Dr. Rod. I feel like I made the right choice.

Libarianlk I'm oct 24 also but with Dr garcia!

Librarianlk, hopefully we will bump into each other! I will certainly post updates to you as much as I can!

Hello everyone, I'm scheduled for surgery on October 7th in Greenville Nc. I know I have one of the greatest surgeons in eastern NC, Dr. Naziri . I'll start my pre-op diet on 9/23 which is next Tuesday. I'm very excited and ready to proceed forward with my journey. I wish all of you the best, I know we will do well. Let's stay in touch.

Hi! My surgery date is October 14th. Filled with anxieties and must stop smoking this weekend so I can hurdle the tobacco test. ... A bit nervous since I've never tried stopping and have been a smoker for 22 years. I'm sure I'll pull it off just extremely stressed about it.

Hi, I just quit smoking in July. I never thought I would be able to overcome that hurdle because I had attempted to quit so many times before. I was determined to quit for my health and for a quick recovery after surgery. It also helped that my surgeon required me to quit 3 months before surgery .

I want to give you some tips to overcome the urge. You will probably experience your worst withdrawal the first 2 weeks. Try to make flushing the nicotine from your system top priority (morning until night); drinking cranberry and or grapefruit juice and lots of water. Also begin taking a multivitamin. Once the nicotine leaves your system the craving will subside.

You can do it and hope this will help you.

I'm October 1st two more weeks I'm so excited and nervous

I no what u mean Melissayw816 I feel exactly the same way. I'm scheduled for the same day. I have been reading up on lots of blogs to try to help with my nervousness. I found the world according to egg face to be extremely helpful with great recipes and advice. I've been looking for a support buddy, seeing that our surgrey is on the same day I'd like to stay in contact and add u as a friend if that's ok with u.
