Congratulations!!! I know about Nervous and Excited simultaneously! [emoji1]
We'll do fine, dreaming of all the possibilities of what weight loss will bring.
Good luck on "the" journey.

And well you should be, but I will celebrate my First Surgiversity on September 5th, more than 125 pounds smaller, a rocky at times journey, it wasn't EXACTLY sunshine, roses and songbirds singing, but WOULD I DO IT AGAIN? GirlFriend, in a HeartBeat of my now 73 year old ❤, not certain it might now NOT be beating WITHOUT the surgical intervention. So I do still BLESS my RNY, my facility, the OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL-WEXNER MEDICAL CENTER in Columbus Ohio, my wonderful surgeon Bradley J Needleman MD who took the chance to improve my life even at THAT AGE, I am extremely lucky, most programs would have permitted me to die obese, in daily pain and knowing all hope had expired. Oh I will always have the Arthritis I was blessed with at 25, 2 replaced knees as well as other joints that required surgeries, but I now move sweeter, smoother and without constant tears in my eyes. And that is its own ✌ victory! So I am here trying to serve my Lird, serving as a hopeful example, mentor Newbees when I can and keeping on keeping on. Oh my life still has its flaws but I have been forgiven and so I treasure Each and Every Day!

That's wonderful news that you got a surgery date. Good luck with your WLS journey.

Thank you all ❤️❤️
