Just 8 more hours to go! Surprisingly a lot of my nervousness has subsided, that may change by morning lol, we'll see. Say a little prayer for a stranger if you would please. :-) Thanks ev1 for the comments and I will talk to y'all when I am out of recovery and awake.

Yea the up side is I have lost another 8 lbs. LoL That makes a total of 41 lbs. lost pre-op! Tryin' to get my Sexy back!<br />God help me and watch over me more now than ever, Amen.<br />Sent from my Galaxy tab.

I had a lot of trouble to start too. The pysch office that did my eval actually lost the results and paperwork for over a month. Then they told me I had to get new dentures and then they came back and said I had old paperwork from 2006 from the hospital that said I needed a cpap. So I started this journey last October with them saying I would probably have my surgery before Christmas 2011 and here I am finally going into the operating room on Monday, God willing and the creek don't rise, as my grandmother puts it. LoL Good luck and stay on them, call 20 times a day if you have to. They will finally get tired of you pestering them lol and get you thru, as my granddad says, the wheel that squeaks the loudest gets greased first.

That is why I am doing it. I have a 16 year old daughter and she always wants me to go do things with her and I can't walk to go do them. When the dietian did our class she told us to set goals for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. After talking it over with my girl, I set my goals as, 1 month- lose enough (about 35 lbs) to be able to get on our treadmill again, 3 months- go dancing with her on New Years Eve, 6 months- take her to the amusement park without a wheelchair and actually get to ride the rides, and 1 year- go back to Hawaii without a wheelchair and hike up DiamondHead with her. The last one may be a little too optimistic but both she and I would settle for the first part of it. LoL And I would love to be able to snorkel or scuba dive there. None of these things have I been able to do in years. So I am staying positive and keeping the faith that this will be the life changing experience I am praying for.

Thank you. I don't get out much except in computerland so I was hoping to find a great support group online and I ran across this one completely by accident. Must mean I am supposed to be here :-) Tryin' to get my Sexy back!<br />God help me and watch over me more now than ever, Amen.<br />Sent from my Galaxy tab.

Good luck! I would also like to get up with how you are doing. I have my surgery in 2 days. :-)

I had my psych eval last Nov. and I am having surgery Monday. But I had some complications that took a while to resolve.
