You know, its been over a year since i found this site and asked a couple of questions. I was so upset to find i had to do 6 months of nutrition classes after finally making up my mind that this was the thing for me....Ive dieted my entire life and to have to wait even longer was agonizing...but i approached this as i did the adoptions of my daughters..one item at a time..to completion and kept at it until it was done.

Well, all my tests have been done, insurance approved and finally i got my call today that surgery is scheduled for 7/7. Omg i am soooo thrilled, excited, nervous, ready! I'm sure the month will fly, as I have several events ahead of me...and as excited as i am....i will admit to being nervous about handling the first 1-4 weeks of liquids...semi liquids..etc.

I am in Los Angeles County and would love to find the support of those close by....my surgery will be at Arcadia Methodist Hospital. Any one who might be having surgery at the same time - would love to support and get support through this together....of course having support of those that have already gone through this would be excellent and appreciated as well!

This forum is so huge it can be overwhelming...but yet i know all the answers are here too. Please, any help or suggestion are very much welcome....through all my excitement i'm a little afraid too.

So much of life is social...im desperate to lose weight..yet i food is pretty good too lol.

Anyway...hoping to make new friends here. I can use all the help i can get!

Speaking of that..how do i get the little ticker thing into my profile? lol.

Thanks all!

Hi Angelina! Very cool that your considering that! The doctors are in Duarte...I'm truly very excited - thanks for your note! :biggrin:

That is awesome! I wasnt sure when your surgery was scheduled! Maybe we can keep in contact through the process and compare notes! There is a July Bandster group forming...so we're there!
