Ok....i got a call yesterday that my surgery is scheduled for Sept 14th. I am so excited and very nervous at the same time which I guess is expected. I have wanted this for so long and I finally took the steps. I am just so nervous about going under anesthesia!! All I can think about is what if I don't wake up or if something else horrible happens during surgery. Even though I have this whole fear I am def. going to do it. I have been big all my life and it's time for a BIG change. I don't want to be the fat girl no more!!!

CONGRATS on your surgery date!! I cant imagine the excitement you feel as you are preparing to start on this road to a "new" you!!! Keep us all updated on how things are going/go. Hope to be able to join you on the other side some day!

Congratulations on your date! I just got mine too, September 17. I can't wait to shop on the other side of the wall!!

WHOOHOOO for YOU! I just got my date today 9/30 for me! I am so ready and I bet you are too!

Keep us posted!

I just got my approval letter from the insurance company on Friday, Sept. 4th. I hope to talk to the surgeon's office on Tuesday in regards to a surgery date. I have a mandatory class that I must attend and after that class, they issue the surgery date. HOPEFULLY I will have a late Sept, early-mid October date!! CONGRATS to all of you Sept. bandees!:thumbup:

I'm getting my band on 9-13! that has got to be a lucky number for me as both of my kids had that number in sports. I am very nervous and excited at the same time. I am not afraid of the anesthesia . It always makes me feel so rested when I come out of it. My biggest fear is not having my little yorkie jump on my stomach for a week. That's going to be hard to do. My whole life I've dealt with weight. Every wish I make is "to be thin".

Now my wishes will come true. I can't wait to tuck in my blouse.
