WOOHOO...SURGERY DATE IS SET!

[jenakaela 24]

I can finally take a chill pill and start getting things in order before my surgery on April 9, 2013, exactly a week after my 39th bday. I guess this will be the best bday gift to myself . Haven't quite hit me yet, maybe as I get closer to the 9th I'll start freaking out. This online support has been my lifesaver at times and I'm thankful for that. I have read about the good, the bad, and of course the uggglllyyyy! And as we all know each individual is different, however I do look forward to major changes coming my way. I'm not expecting things to change over night, but as long as this dreadful wt comes off I'm good with that. Its not going to be easy, but I'm ready to tackle this head on. It wasn't easy losing 35lbs on my own to get my surgery date, so I certainly don't expect things to be any easier after surgery. The best thing I can take away from this experience so far is that for the first time since I was 17yrs old I can proudly say "I DID NOT USE ANY DIET pills TO LOSE 35LBS". Thank you all for the inspiring stories that will always get me through my toughest days as I continue to push forward in my journey to a HEALTHIER and HAPPIER ME. Have a great day and God Bless!

Congratulations!!

Hopefully after surgery it will be easier for you. You will be satisfied much easier because of the restriction. Very exciting!! Good luck!!

Congrats! I agree, VST has been a LIFE RAFT through the pre-surgical process. My surgery is on 4/22...super excited and yet it doesn't seem totally real yet either. Good luck to you! I'll be right behind ya.

I so agree the nervous part of the process will probably be the week before surgery. I have my surgery date for 4/19/13. I have to weigh in on 4/1/13 and take a post op course. I have met my weight requirement and will be so thankful to get my weight in complete. Good luck!
