Let's be support for each other.

My surgery is on 10/28/14!! I would like to stay in touch with you on this life changing journey!! I live in Binghamton, NY and will arrive at the hospital at 7:30am on Tuesday. It was such a process to get this far. I guess I can't believe it's really going to happen. It really hit me last night that my relationship with food is over. Now I'm focused on applying what I have learned. Support during this journey will be a must. Some very strong and determined people have posted their experiences and it truly helped me to set realistic expectations and goals. So I'll be here anytime you need that encouragement, to compare experiences or just someone to listen. Good luck to you!!

Mine is the 28th also and my nerves have taken over. Best of luck

I'm also on the 28th. Nerves were awful last week but I'm more and more at peace with my decision every day. Just ready to get on with it.

Congrats to all good luck best wishes for a speedy recovery positive thoughts and prayers to all

My surgery is October 28 too! I'm excited and ready for this journey to begin. Good luck to everyone and great success!

Good luck everyone. In a little while we all will be changing our lives forever. I'm ready.

What a heck of a day. I ended up having to do a second pre op appt as my doctors office changed the location of my surgery due to my insulin pump. Everything is still on, thank goodness. Few more hours????

My surgery was cancelled due to a mistake on the insurance companies part and my doctors' office. Devastated right now! Our insurance is switching soon so I won't be able to have surgery until 2015. I had finished the whole pre op diet and find this out 20 hours before I was scheduled.

I'm so sorry, I believe there is a reason for everything even if we don't understand at the time. My prayers are with you.

I was sleeved yesterday & came home today. I've felt better...

Congrats to those that were sleeved. I'm in a better frame of mind today. I cried for the first day because I was so frustrated with the incompetency of my insurance company and doctor's office. I will plug along and will do what I need to do when we get our new insurance.

How's everyone doing? Today is better for me. I may actually get my protein in today.

My tummy is rolling & I'm having a hard time consuming.

I haven't been here for a while. Last few days have been challenging. Today was better! I wish I could gulp down a large glass of water. This sipping is a tease. Lol!!
