metherer 5 Posted February 13, 2013 I'm having mine on march 11th 13and I can't wait. Rny here I come. 1 Kathy Pitcher reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarinaCC 47 Posted February 13, 2013 I just want it to be here already. I have zero patience and I'm the person who gets things done and I can't do anything to move this up I got fast tracked in my process with my drs cuz I was so ahead of the game with having things done! Lol he said analysts r so annoying and he wanted me off his back lol November 1st was when I came to the decision I was going to do this...and now here I am...21 days and 12 hours away how did everyone else decide they were doing the right thing? I literally woke up and it was the first thing I thought of (RNY) and it hit me that this is what I'm supposed to do. I believe God slapped me that morning and said "wake up!! This is your path that I have been pointing you towards and you have been ignoring!!" Lol! LoL I've been waiting since my Dr faxed in the referral for this surgery: Dec 2011!!!! Patience?? I have Plenty! I actually saw a Dr about the RNY back in 2000 but decided against it bcs I wanted kids first… this time around I decided enough is enough. My son is (now 12) and I've missed tooooo much with him. I "dieted up" to 330 lbs and I'm done! Time to put life in order. HW 330 CW 312 RNY 03/25/13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarinaCC 47 Posted February 13, 2013 I know the feeling. I am 5'5" and currently weigh 322lbs. Failure is an fear as well as the excess skin. I plan on staying as focused and motivated as possible. I want to gain my life back and really live. I think a lot of us share the same fears but that's why we're here… to help support each other and keep us focused and positive about our lives ahead. I'm 5'1" and a half (that's right, the HALF Matters! LoL) and I weighed a high of 330. Currently I'm at 312-314. I'd like to get to 130. That's my ultimate goal but if I could reach 150 I'd still be happy :-) HW 330 CW 312 RNY 03/25/13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blaq_Butterfly 27 Posted February 14, 2013 Does anyone else find themselves wanting to eat more than they had been before? I feel like I am constantly eating since I got my date.... 1 Kathy Pitcher reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metherer 5 Posted February 14, 2013 Heck yes. I thought it was just me. Someone on another forum described it as being as though you are in mourning for your existing lifestyle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fixerupper 335 Posted February 14, 2013 Me too. I could put on a lot of weight before surgery at this rate. My doc doesn't require me to do liquid diet or lose weight before surgery. But somehow I think that has translated in my head to freedom to act a fool! I think I need the doc to put his for down with me and hold me accountable.

Ab1986 14 Posted February 14, 2013 I am hoping for a march date! I submit to insurance tomorrow and my ins coordinator at my surgeons office is going to give me a "dummy" date in hopes the insurance company approves in a decent amount of time. I'm praying for 2nd-3rd week of March! 1 Kathy Pitcher reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kathy Pitcher 102 Posted February 14, 2013 Does anyone else find themselves wanting to eat more than they had berm before? I feel like I am constantly eating since I got my date.... I started the pre op early to shed some weight before surgery, and I fell OFF the wagon last week! lol! So yes, I've had that. I've decided to start with a clean slate on Sunday! I could beat myself up or I can just keep on truckin, I know it's a process, and we'll get there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
