I know there are several of us on the same day, so I thought I would start a thread for us to keep in touch as we go through the process.

I'm having surgery in Dallas. On day 2 of preop diet. So far, so good. No issues to report.

Check in here if you are scheduled for 9/8! :)

I am having my surgery with Dr. Valenzuela through Mexico Bariatric Centre. At MI Doctor hospital. I just want this to be done already lol.. I am so prepared its getting ridicules

Good luck everyone !!! 7 days left till surgery!

Barntruckcutie--

I am fighting allergies and maybe a cold- I never get sick!! I'm taking vitamins, and airborne to boost vitamunC-

I can't get sick!!!!

I know what you mean because I never get sick either!!! It figures I would when I really didn't want to! Best of luck. Stay healthy and pop some zicam!!!

Agreed! I am so ready to just get this done already! I have been researching/planning/counting the days for over a year...let's do this already!

Started my pre-op today. That's not a lot of fun, knew this would be the hard part, but it's not too bad. This time next week, we'll be DONE with surgery!!

Yes next week around this time we all try to wake up and try to figure out what just happened lol

Sooo....since we still have 6 days of fabulous pre op diets to survive, I'd like to focus on some of the NSVs that we're looking forward to. I know we all have several we could list, so let's share what you're excited about.

Me? I can't wait to wear a pair of jeans (or anything for that matter) without my "front a**" hanging out! (I have a lot of extra skin from my pregnancies/ c-sections, and that coupled with carrying around extra fat...gives me a big pooch in front...like an a** in front. HATE it!!!) I wanna feel good and look good in my clothes!

What's yours??

I think I might have mentioned this before. I am so SO looking forward to go "shopping" in my huge own closet for all the sizes 12 down to 8 I still have from 5 years ago

And this other thing is going for a swim in public without feeling totally insecure !!!!

I want to go shopping with my daughters and buy clothes for me in the same store as them .

Sept 8th... Baylor Hospital Plano, Tx.

Hi Lee

And welcome to the 8-September-club

There are several things that I'm looking forward to-- probably the biggest is to get rid of the power of fear- fear to try new things- fear in how I look to others- fear of how I look in clothes- fear of how I look without clothes on- fear of trying yoga, or jogging because my mind erases the can do it before I even try.

I'm so excited to becoming a better me!!

On the downside- I'm never sick, and I'm now starting on a Zpack today. I can't believe the timing- I should be home in bed, but that wouldn't cut it at my job since I'm taking a bunch of time off for surgery!

Good luck and I'm so excited for all of us!

I am so ready to have this done and not be so nervous. I am excited at the same time for the new me.

I am looking forward to wearing white jeans again and looking nice in them. The other thing is sleeping soundly, no apnea. Also, I have a vague memory of being a cute girl once upon a time. I'd like to see if I still am. :P
