I'm having my surgery Oct 5th my per op class is Sept 23rd. I'm getting super excited only thing that worries me is missing classes I just enrolled into two classes and they start the 14th I'll be missing 3 classes plus a whole week of surgery. Hoping my teachers will be okay and let me work it out so I don't fall behind or get knocked for missing class.

It is definitely an awesome movie! We are all going to be awesome starring in our own movie. Yes sometimes it is going to be scary but we will be amazed as our bodies change, as we conquer new NSV's. We've all bought a ticket and we are standing on the platform ready to board.

I like this thought. By thinking of it this way for the first time I am starting to feel some excitement. Maybe I did shed some of that stress yesterday after all.

I've said it before and I will say it over and over again.... we've got this!!

I had my preop and Monday I go I for abdominal sonogram, lab work and EKG. I picked up by Bariatric Advantage. Pre op diet starts on 10/7. My surgery is at 1 pm. My husband has decided to do green smoothies with me and will fast I my day prior to surgery with me. He did all this with me the 1st go round. He was like 1pm surgery, we are gonna need prayer! I went in with a list of questions and he answered each one. He was very reassuring.

October 1st here

I'm excited for everyone here. Initially I was going to have the sleeve, but after my EGD results, my surgeon said it had to be bypass. I go for my final weigh in next Wednesday. My pre op is Friday! I completed my phone interview with the hospital the other day. It's like wow, it's happening!

I'm really happy to be able to share this experience with people who completely understand what this feels like.

@thbrown is their a specific reason to why you had to get the bypass I'm not trying to be to personal I'm just curious

Tell me about have been waiting awhile for October 1st

In 7 days from now I will be in recovery from surgery! Really excited but scared at the same time! I just keep telling myself it's for my kids and come this next summer I will be splashing around with my kids at a water park!! Or able to fit in rides with them!

Just started liquid pre-op today. In a very strange way, it's kind of nice not stressing over what to eat or how much to eat. Anyone else feel that way? Anesthesia appointment this afternoon and surgery a week from today. WOW!

Had a wonderful "last supper" with my husband last night at one of our favorite spots. Then came home and popped open a very nice bottle of champagne we'd been saving for a few years to have on a special occasion. For me, making the last night of "normal" a big celebration helped tremendously. I went to bed so happy and woke up this morning with the words "you got this" echoing in my head. and we all do. We can all do this.

Your close to me on your surgery date mine is the 5th and just got clearance from Anesthesiologists probably now is my insurance is not paying for the patch I have to wear the night before for nausea and they are $90 I'm hoping the can call and get them approved so insurance will pay

Oh and a switched surgerys I was having the RNY but now since talking to surgeon I'm having the sleeve

@kimvox66...you got this!!! I am exactly one week behind you! And have the exact same feelings about the pre op diet. I like not having to worry about what I have to eat!! Liquids is easy for me!! My fear seems to be waning as my excitement is waxing!!! Lol, like my moon analogy there????
