StormWarning 194 Posted July 13, 2012 39 days let the count down begin and the slight freak out 45 days to go for me. When I got my surgery date yesterday I had a 'slight freak out' moment, but it didn't last long. I'm super excited now!!! Please forgive me as this forum is getting pretty large. But I want to welcome both of you if this is your first time. This is an exciting time in all our lives, but can be alil scary too. We have a great class of people here who are most likely experiencing the same feelings and we try to help each other through our difficult times. Our very own futureskinnypants will get your names and dates on the surgery board that she has put together. Bare with her as we have been working her hard with all the new August recruits. I want to wish you both the best of luck on your journey and I hope its everything you have dreamed of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StormWarning 194 Posted July 13, 2012 I think we will all have many freak out moment right up until we're put under but the other side is definitely gonna be greener Agreed, with only one rebuttal. Sure the other side may be greener but I think we will still have our fair share of freak out moments. After all we are all going to have to learn a new way, that alone is stress enough for freaking out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leprechaunmomma 33 Posted July 13, 2012 Good Morning ladies =) I have my date, August 27th with Dr. Lopez and Dr. Osuana in Tijuana Mexico. I am 33 on August 2nd and 5'2 and 230ish. I need to lose aprox 120 lbs to be healthy. Genetically speaking....well I have one thin cousin I am sooo thankful that I found this thread. Waking up panicking about this decision has not been fun the last week or so. I sent off my deposit yesterday, booked the flights and updated my passport (it will be here by the end of July) ....so now I get to stew...yup, pure delight.... I chose my doctors from review lists, and the fact that I got two for the price of one appealed to me. As some of the doctors down there are on call for more than one hospital and don't have time to come and check on you. I wanted to make sure I could improve my odds if something should come up to have a doctor see me sooner rather than later. Cost also was a factor, not going to lie. I am a self pay. I am using A Lighter Me to coordinate the surgery which is nice too, because then I know that a third party that is knowledgeable in these matters can guide me with my apprehension. I have two amazing daughters, :wub: and want to make this process as easy as possible on them. So, having someone setting everything up and doing it via email is easiest so that they don't have to worry as much. As my 11 year old has rather large ears lol. Good luck and peaceful dreams till your journeys hit fruition. 1 runner reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StormWarning 194 Posted July 13, 2012 Holy Smokes!! August is looking like one busy month. Wonder if we are going to be the top month on the boards. Mrs Skinny Pants, you have done such a great job. I know I've said this before, but thank you for all you are doing. 3 Audrey523, weight_no_longer and MsDallasSleever reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
