Hahaha!! Same here! Men are so nasty!!! Lol

My surgery has been moved to May 13th from May 6th. Even though I am excited about getting the surgery, I'm kinda glad for the extra prep time. I had my pre-op with the surgeon on Friday and I will meet with the anesthesiologist early next week. The surgeon spent about an hour with me and my support person who was very impressed. Just about all of my friends and family are against me getting the surgery because they don't think I need it and want me to do Weight Watchers because Jennifer Hudson lost a lot with them. (I call BS on that but I digress). Anyway, good luck to all.

I'm scheduled for surgery on 6 May 2013. My husband is deployed to Afghanistan until October. He knows I was in process to get surgery but I haven't told him I have a date because I want it to be a surprise. Any Military wives out there having surgery while hubby is deployed?

Yes, that's the same day I start mine as well! Unfortunately, I had to have my last meal on Monday since we are required to do a 2 week Atkins type diet. Then 2 days prior to surgery is when we do the clear liquid diet. What do you think you'll have?

Wow, you look great, but you were also very pretty in the pumpkin patch pic. Congratulations on your success. My surgery is scheduled for 6 May 2013.

Congratulations!

Yes. My surgery is scheduled for 6 May 2013. It's been a long process. I've been in the program for almost a year. Before going to the orientation, I was on Opti-Fast and taking Phentermine. Shortly after, I began the plan given by the program and stopped taking the appetite suppressants. I gained 20 lbs and was required to lose the weight before getting scheduled for surgery. We had to sign a statement saying that we could not gain any weight. This was because previous participants just went on an eating frenzy after they got into the program thinking that since they were getting the surgery, they could just gorge until the date. Anyway, I'm happy to have found this forum and wish you and everyone good luck.
