Surgery date, that is! :biggrin: I have my pre-op and dietician consult on Tuesday, January 12th. That is when I start my pre-op diet. {cringe}

The big day is Wednesday, January 27th. That is 68 days away! With Thanksgiving and Christmas in there, time is going to fly by.

I'm quite excited! Now that everything is scheduled, it is truly time to just wait. I feel so relaxed, confident and completely satisfied with my decision. I know I will get nervous a few times between now and then, but I am ready.

My parents and 3 friends know right now. A couple remain supportive but skeptical. That's okay, because I plan to "show", not "tell." My plan is to actively blog, attend my support groups and do exactly what my doctor tells me to do.

And so it begins...!! :biggrin:

Congratulations! I just had the surgery on the 10th. I was back to work the following weekend. I was tired and in a little pain but I am a double weekend nurse and I didn't want to miss any hours at work especially since I was self pay and already just dished out $6,500.I thought it would be hard to do the liquid phase of the diet but it was a breeze.From my experience you should get up and start walking as soon as possible after surgery, it helps with the gas.I am very satisfied with the decision I made and would do it all over again.Good Luck to you. I pray all goes well.

Congratulations !!!!!! To the both of you ,Keep use all posted of everything ..

Congratulations! Having a date must make it feel more real. I'm excited for you! I'm also hoping to have a late-January surgery date... crossing my fingers!

yay!!! I also got my date today. Its set for jan 4th. congrats and best wishes!
