I love the name - I know some real guy Hotties. Each day I get a little more excited but a little more nervous too. Hard to read some of the troubles people are having but just have to think positive:smile2:. I hope everyone feels great with the beginning of the new year.:Yawn:

thanks, what about pain medications - they say they don't want you taking Nonsteroidals but I have heard to be sure to have some liquid tylenol... can you take that? I have fibromyalgia so I am trying to figure out what I am going to do for pain/anti-inflammatories. I know I am going to have to change some of the medications - did you just have them ordered at Walgreens/CVS or did you have to get them somewhere special. You have no idea (or maybe you do:tongue_smilie:) how much this helps calming my nerves and I am sure so many others prior to surgery:smile:

Thanks, going thru the check lists myself. I was wondering how much help you need afterwards. I live by myself and am having a friend stay with me for a couple of days... will that be enough. She lives only a couple of blocks away if I needed anything.:laugh:

Hi Maybell, I am about two weeks behind you and have all the same concerns (as well as worried about caffeine and some of my meds being a problem) as you. I plan on taking it one day at a time, I know I look forward to saving a lot of money on not buying soda - I agree by the time we consider the lap belt, we are ready for it. I have been overweight since at least 4 years old (oh wait a minute, I don't remember before that so I bet it was a problem before that too:laugh:) Good luck with your pre-ops and surgery. Here's to a happy and healthier new year for all of us!!:laugh:

I agree, surgery will be the 28th. Excited and nervous at the same time. Everyone have a great New Years Celebration and we can all look forward to a healthier new year. jean:thumbup:

Hi All, Just got my tentative date for surgery 1/28:tongue2: I still have my psych exam to finish. So everyone keep their fingers crossed that I am not crazy and that the insurance approval comes soon...:tongue2:

Hi All, Just wondering how long it took to hear from the insurance company... I live in MA with Harvard Ins. but would like to hear from everyone... Anxious.

Thanks for the reply. I am scheduled with Dr. Robinson and hope to get surgery in February. I know I will be having a lot more questions and this site has been great. I don't think I will regret anything, just need to get over my cold feet.

Hi All: was looking to see if there was a MA forum when I found this. I am going to get my surgery date assigned on Jan 8th. I need to ask you all if you would do it again. Sorry just a little nervous.... everyone says it is normal but was it all worth it:sad: Worried on so many levels...

Hello to all, first posting and you have no idea how much this helps. Just to know that so many people have the same concerns that I have... and to hear from people who have the answers.:thumbup: Always having second thoughts, hope to get surgery scheduled at my appt on 1/5/09.
