Hey everyone! I know that October seems like forever away, but I was just seeing if there is anyone out there that wants some help and support through the long days leading up to the best thing that will every happen to us!? Can't wait to hear some support and excitement.

Dirigo,

I just know in my heart that your daughter is going to do great. She has youth on her side and parents looking out for her. And she will get the jump on all of us with her weight loss!!! When able, I hope you will send out an update on how she does tomorrow. Just tell her she has prayers coming in from across the country for her.

Bridgette,

There is always a couple of Hokies in every group. Glad we found each other. :girl_hug:

Short n' Sassy - thank you for those very beautiful words! I have a lump in my throat from reading them. I iwll gladly report back as soon as I can.

Soon, you'll need to change your username to "Short, Slim n' Sassy!"

Ooh, Ooh me, me. I just received my surgery date about an hour ago.

My doctor is Dr. Clark at the WLSC in Newport News, VA.

October 27th is the big day for me. I am so excited. :girl_hug:

Hey everyone. My date is set for Oct 14 at 7am. When I got the call I started to cry while on the phone and at work. My co-works looked at me like I was crazy but I was really happy. This has been a long time coming.

I hope everyone has a safe procedure and I will be praying for each and everyone of you.

:confused::smile:

I'm having my surgery on Oct 17th. Dr. Ortiz will be doing my surgery.
