Just joined this group and so happy to read all these inspirational stories. My surgery is in six weeks and I'm beginning to get excited about this, new phase of my life. I'll gladly accept any and all advice, tips, etc.

Definitely need support and encouraging words. But this will be so worth it.

I wish I'd done it sooner. This is my only regret

I honestly believe that where we're at is where we're supposed to be in life.

I'm also in recovery (7 years in May) from drugs and alcohol, so that helps keep my serenity where it needs to be.

So how was the park and how are you doing? Still looking forward to surgery day? I know I am, it's been so long it may almost seem anticlimactic but I still will be filled with joy![emoji12][emoji13][emoji12]

Good morning... she enjoyed the park as much as I did. I begin my pre-op appointments on Wednesday so its beginning to get real. Still battling the sugar demon. How are you?

Sinusitis which has persisted for close to a month. On my 4th antibiotic to try to clear it up. When I blow my nose and I do that fairly frequently, I think that Barbie woman was right--i am rotten inside. Ah but she was the only pile of bovine excrement I've ever,met on Bariatric Pal. Most people on here are beautiful people who are very helpful to everyone. Am I closer to surgery? Not really but the wheels are still turning but not with much speed. I have a 2. hour psych appointment at OSU with their staff psychologist Dr Kramer 10AM-Noon at Martha Morehouse Pavilion in Columbus. My PCP says to just act like my wonderful,self and things will be fine. What if they screw me over like the other program did? How,much sorrow and frustration am I supposed to accept? Since I completed all of the prerequirements from the other program will they accept them all? So many questions So few answers--- what next?[emoji31][emoji13][emoji31]

Wow! My process has been rather fast. I began in November with the nutritionist; had my psych evaluation, endoscopy and now getting the pre-op clearance from my PCP. I pray things go well for you and the sinusitis is cleared up soon.
