My preop appointment is Tuesday 9/13. This is when I will be given my surgery date. I have been excited since this has been such a long journey. Now I am started to get nervous. I am worried that something else is going to get in my way and delay me again. I am keeping my fingers crossed that there are no more issues.

If something does come up just jump through one hoop at a time. Have to get all the stars aligned before they roll you into the OR. It really is exciting. I'm just a week post op, have had some pain but nothing that couldn't be managed. Just have to keep your eye on the ball, it's all worth it!

You'll do fine. I remember almost quoting. I now weigh 121 pounds and ALL my health issues are gone. Think of ho healthy you're going to be. All the little things now that you can't do that you'll be able to do. Even small ones. Like in a restaurant being able to set at a booth, not a table.

@@Gordita81 I feel the same way! Fingers crossed that we get surgery dates that are very soon so we can be on the Loser's Bench! Good luck Tuesday! Looking forward to hearing how it goes!

I am at the surgeon's office right now waiting for my surgery date. They told me that I may have messed up my surgery because I had put on 20 lbs over the past 17 months due to the fact that I gave up a long time ago. I thought this surgery was not gonna happen. Now I am scared that it really may not happen.

Not gaining is often an insurance requirement, I hope things work out for you. Maybe you could start the 6-month process over again?
