Hi all,

Just found out today that I have a date for my surgery. It is 3 December at North Shore Private Hospital.

Now I'm scared - I want this but before it was just one day in the future - now I know it is for sure.

:eek:

Congratulations Danna, shame it's so far away. I haven't had my call yet so looks like I'll be waiting even longer. I was told that it wouldn't be long after my meeting with the surgeon... looks like I was misinformed !!! I don't like the idea that it's so close to Christmas. :cool:

Congrats Danna! I found when I got the date, the anxiety really began!

Are you doing Optifast for long pre-op?

Sades,

Give Anna a call and she'll give you a date, that's what I did. she is also trying to get some times at the Sands ? at Wahroonga so that she can fit everyone in before Christmas.

Coo,

Because I have such a high BMI he wants me to do Opti for 4 weeks - so only 2 weeks and 3 days before Opti-day.

Hi Donna,

Probably only a day or two after you. Where are you being banded?

Danna

Danna

I'm being banded at Royal Brisbane

So glad you have your dates :Banane10:

I went totally mental when I finally had my date. Total self-sabotage :Banane35:. Anything I shouldn't eat I did. I have settled now, so it was kind of a relief when I started this two week phase.

I had to "try to tolerate" the Opti, and I have, but I've only been having 2 per day, and a light salad or fruit.

I must say that the strawberry one, the new flavour, is really helping me for a sugar fix.

Hi Danna

I called Anna yesterday morning and she said she may have a spot at the Sand on 1 November... just waiting on a confirmation. That will work really well for me because I'm about 10 mins away from Wahroonga... easier to get dropped off and picked up. I can't believe it might be so soon... I'm so excited and terrified at the same time!! :whoo: I'll keep you posted.

hi girls im Leeanne

congratulations on getting dates.....im 23 days post op and glad its all behind me.....

Sade,

I know - I was all excited when I rang Anna and got the date and then I went to the computer to tell everyone and just sat there for about 5 minutes going Oh my god, oh my god.

It is so real now - before it was something that would happen in the future but now it's here. I think I would rather be in your shoes - you've got less time to be nervous - it will be all over and you will be on the other side I will still be here going Oh my god!!

Lucky you, keep in touch and let me know how you're going up to the op date and when you feel up to it after the op, let us know how you are.

Danna:help::help::help: (couldn't find one that said Oh my god!)
