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.

There is a lot to do! I did my preop nurse appt for anesthesia and abdominal sonogram Monday. I have medical clearance appt this Friday. Then on the 10th another NUT appt and on the 15th final surgeon and NUT appt. Preop diet starts on the 7th!!!

Omg my pre op is tomorrow morning. This just got really real!!! I have been pounding down the water to pump up these tiny veins. Everyone say a little prayer that they don't have to stick me half a dozen times! I swear the thing that scares me most about this surgery are all these dang needles!!!

Welcome @@jolms , @@kiwi201000 , and @@Missy2new . This is the most supportive group! @@CHLOE12 I am going to be sending you tons of positive thoughts. I could not imagine doing this without support at home. Do you have people that live close that could come help you?

Thank you so much I have a daughter close but she has 3 little ones The other kids are completely against this I'm sure they'll hop on board after surgery but they live kind of far I love that I have this site!

@@CHLOE12 I'm single, I live alone in Chicago where I take crowded buses and trains everyday, I love to go out to dinner and drinks. Every once in awhile, I freak out and think what if someone bumps my belly on the train and hurts my pouch?!? Silly things like that make me think WHAT AM I DOING?!? But then I remember how unhappy and unhealthy my weight has made me. We can do this!!!

Getting close! Tomorrow is my pre op appt and labs and a week from today is my surgery! Can't wait!
