I have my surgery on Tuesday the 29th, I am excited, scared, nervous but above all looking forward to a new way of living. It has been a long journey, but I am glad I chose it. These boards have been so helpful in helping to ease my nerves about the whole thing. Thanks to you all.

Hi all got my date for surgery Aug 22, Im getting so excited. Hi Chick hope your surgery went well yesterday. Let us know how your doing. I start my pre-op diet Aug 8 for 2 weeks, slimfast shakes for 3 days and add a small salad with fat free dressing for 10 days. Keep telling myself I can do this I can do this, but never liked the taste of slim fast. I will grin and bear it though. Im telling myself this is temporary and I will have more choices later on. Good luck to all.

Just experimenting with this Ticker Dont really know how to add this to my profile....Here goes.....
