I finally got my surgery date! it's such a bitter sweet time for me. I waited for so long for it and now it's on paper and very real. I'm very much so in nesting mode... shopping and prepping have become a huge deal to me and at the same time a bit overwhelming W so many choices to make (in reference to pre-op diet). I am very excited and I hope there will be others to share this journey with since my surgery is October 28th ???? I would luv a buddy to share and exchange information and suggestions with. My surgeon is Dr. Shirwinter from Memonides Hospital in Borough Park Brooklyn, NY. Looking forward to the new journey!

Me too! Hard to believe you can be so excited and nervous that much all at the same time. But I am!! We got this! Before we know it, we will be up and at it, and never look back!

My original surgery date was supposed to be next Thursday (9/24), but I'm riddled with stomach ulcers. Doc put me on meds and I have a re-check mid October. My surgeon will schedule me for around that time - and move it again if need be. I'm looking at 10/22 or 10/26. Otherwise, 11/2. Hopefully these ulcers behave. I have ZERO pain from them - so it came as a shock.
