I am scheduled for February 2009, too. I live in San Diego, CA and cannot wait. Of course, a little nervous, too. However, I KNOW this is the right surgery for me and am excited to begin my healthier life.

Hello,

My name is Ann. I am scheduled for surgery on Feb 5th and I am looking forward to it. But I must confess I am a little nervous about the pain afterwards. I live in Phila, Pa, is there anyone else from the area? Have you all had your testing?

Let me know

Ann

Ann what testing are you refering to. I see the dr on the 5th to get my surgery day which I'm hoping for the 2nd of Feb. I think I've read about everything I possibly can and I think I'm ready. I know it will be a rough few weeks but in the end it will be all worth it. Tam

I should have said "lab work", sorry for the confusion. I have completed mine and now I have to go back to the Dr's on the 19th. I agree that it will be worth it and I am excited.

I have my surgery date, February 25, 2009 at UCSD. I am in San Diego. Anyone else from San Diego having surgery at UCSD. I am so ready. Tired of being sick and tired. Tired of carring around 100+ extra pounds. Sound familiar to anyone?

I am being banded on February 24th in New Jersey. I know that is not far off, but I wish it was tomorrow. I am very excited about getting started!

I'm so glad that you have all posted you dates of surgery, it helps to know that others are either on or around the same days as myself.

Yea... I found out Monday that my surgery date is Feb. 3rd.

I'm so excited but anxious at the sametime. I start my pre-op diet on the 19th. Which I'm excited about as it is not a liquid diet but a no/low carb diet. I've been gathering up all the things I've read on here to have on hand. Now if I can only start exercising more I'd be in fine shape (excuse the pun).

I'm going in on February 16th with Dr. Ortiz. I'm so excited, but I'm not looking forward to the pre-op diet. my BMI is a bit higher than they'd like, so I have to lose over 15 lbs.

I'm so happy for all of us! FINALLY we're on the road to being healthy!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
