Well, my surgery day, what I call my "butterfly day" is exactly a week away....OMG it's almost here!! When I first walked into my surgeons office in August of 2015 and was told yes I was a good candidate but my insurance required a 6 month supervised diet I wanted to cry!!! I was so ready to have surgery right then and there!!

In hindsight I needed these months to mentally change myself and my views on food. Now I am ready !

To those in the 6 month wait ...it will go quickly and use the time to prep yourself mentally as well as physically.

I'm so happy for you! Will be praying for a quick and pain free recovery. Please update us as soon as you feel up to it! Seeing all of your preparation post are exciting!

The wait is almost over, congratulations and good luck next week.

Thanks all! I'm getting uber excited!!!!

Good luck young lady. I hope you will find that it was worth the wait. I'm glad I did.

@@Nurse_Lenora - Happy early "Butterfly" Day!!!!

In the next month or so everything will seem so different with food~

Congrats on the day! Yes, the 6 month wait sucks but goes by quicker than you think. Which is why I can emphasize enough how people should relax and enjoy life during the wait.

Good luck on your surgery. I will pray that it is successful and without complications.

I love the "butterfly day" label. Good luck on your surgery. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. See you on the other side!

Thank you all! I can't wait to be a permanent, card holding member of the losers bench!

As of today I am officially ready! Pre op labs done as well as pre op clearance from my primary physician!
