Me too Candy, Jul 16th...we can do it! Healthy and lighting fireworks this time next year :-)

Congratulations, that's good news. You'll do great!

How exciting! Glad you're feeling better too :-)

Good luck Starshinemama hope you are up and feeling better really soon!

That's awesome, congratulations!

That's awesome! Helps me to not be so nervous, congratulations!

I had never opened up to anyone about how my weight struggles have made me feel until seeing the psych...I figured "what do you have to lose, if you want this to work just be open?!". It felt odd, saying things out loud to a stranger that we're so personal, then I CRIED all the way home (I am not a crier), I joked with my friend that the psych lady had broken me because now I cry at least once a week thinking about the surgery lol....the psych told me this was normal too, but it's all a little overwhelming...

Thanks everyone, these are all helpful....I thought it meant I wasn't ready but I feel much more normal now after hearing from everyone! Plus things always look better in the light of day, for whatever reason it's worse at night when I have nothing to do but lay there and think about it :-)

Congratulations on coming through and where you're at - inspirational :-)

Thanks Ladies! I needed the pep talk tonight...I think I'm just hyper focused right now and so scared of messing up the pre op diet that the surgery is on my mind 24/7....I'm glad y'all are here!

Hey Mizzliz....I've got sleep apnea as well (gotta love that sexy mask!). From what my dr said its more dangerous if it's undiagnosed before surgery, then they don't know to treat or watch out for certain things....I wasn't too worried because I had it when my gallbladder was removed with no issues, but any concerns definitely ak your dr....

July 16 for me :-). Good luck to all of you July folks!

Good luck to you, and congratulations!

Also...my date got moved up, was Aug 13 now Jul 16 so that's taken away 4 weeks of "mental prep."

Thanks! I was excited all day Friday, cried all day Saturday, did both today, go figure!

Thanks everyone! Now I just have to get my head in the game for the pre-op diet....
