Texas here as well. I never even checked out the Texas forums. I keep getting side-tracked with all the other informative posts on here. I am scheduled for surgery August 6, 2012 with Dr. Alvarez. My feelings of "This is Real, This is really happening" started when I was purchasing the required Vitamins, and items for my pre-op diet. The grocery shopping made me shaky, butterflies in my stomach. The pass-port that came in the mail the same day, sent me into a nauseated world spinning, no turning back; I can do this mode.

Nice to meet you all. Good luck to everyone and all who have upcoming surgeries.

Sounds like a plan Mom24.

At this stage, I would say get a fresh note pad that you can keep info strictly related to your surgery. Keep a running list of questions for your doc and dont be afraid to write down the answers right as he/she is giving them. Start bookmarking recipes, keep good track of all of your pre-op appt's. Good luck!

I'm in Mansfield and my surgery will be with Dr. Kim hopefully mid-September. Finished all my requirements just today and just waiting on insurance approval! Nice to know so many fellow Texans going through this life-changing journey too!
