Thank you Jessica. Everybody in here are so versatiled and great people. I'm glad I found this app. :-)

Good luck to you too Jess. That is tomorrow and I just prayed for you. I feel very confident with my Doctor because I know I will be in his good hands.

You are close to Midland Beach. I'am facing the waters at Mariners Harbor. Hello neighbor :-)

My surgery is for 9/12 and is Dr. Ferzli from Staten Island, NY. The procedure will be done at Lutheran Medical Center at Brooklyn, NY.

Before I went to see the Phsy my friends who had the sugery told me not to say you are depressed. Well despite of the problems I have with my daughter and my gjob I told him the truth. I mean I'm not depressed but concerned for my health and I had to be selfish and do me. I expressed my myself how I want my future to be. He said to me that having this surgery will be a big transformation and there will be times that I may get depressed. Overall he said that I'am a strong woman and I'am fit and ready for this. Allelujah!!! @ jeremysmoma, you will do fine. Don't worry.

My sugery date is 9/12 and I'am following my 2 weeks Pre Op diet because my doctor says I need to lose 10 pounds. So far I lost 8 pounds. I thought following that crucial that I'd starve my myself but I'm getting use to start eating healthy. This morning I had a hard boiled egg with wheat toast. For lunch I had boiled carrots and some grilled shrimps. With no salt no seasoning. For dinner scrambled eggs with green peppers and a small slice of low fat cheese. My Mom is so awesome! She came home from the health store and purchased protein vanilla shakes and a soy protein powder container. She is so sweet. She said she wanted to start to get the liquid diet week ready after my sugery. My family are eating the same like me. I guess they all gonna loose weight too :-)
