[_Kate_ 2,224]

I can honestly say I chop and change from excitment to nerves to time passing slowly to time rushing by.

How do YOU feel and what have you done to prepare?

I am excited and nervous at the same time. If I can get through this month, I know I will be fine.

I went for my preop testing today and I am anxious and nervous. July 10th seems like so far away.

Started my 2 week preop diet today... Surgery date is 7/15 ????????????

[LanaMac 14]

I feel like I can't sleep cause I have to read anything and everything about the pending pre-op diet to the long term post-op experiences. I'm a lower BMI but have lost just as much of my "life" as I would at a higher one. I'm ready to get back to the life I was supposed to have, and start over. I'm nervous to be home with my kids all summer, cooking for them all day and not being able to eat any of it. I don't usually have a problem not eating it, but the "can't" makes the thought tougher.

My date is July 23rd. I'm a Canadian going to the WLF clinic in Tijuana. I'd love to hear or share any thoughts and experiences from all of you.

I got the call from the scheduler at the hospital this morning. Originally the surgery date was August 11th. I asked if there were any cancellation, if I could be bumped up. She said there was an earlier date but she would need to call me back. When she called back...I have surgery on Monday July 6th. I have to go on the clear liquid diet until Sunday and be at the hospital at 5:30 am to do stat lab work... still in shock! I wasn't expecting it to be this soon but am incredible grateful for the opportunity I am being given to have this surgery!

@@LanaMac same day as me whohoooooo

I had my pre op day in hospital today. Everything went well and I feel more encouraged about the journey I am on. The staff were all so lovely and there are only 6 rooms in the hospital with a ton of staff both night and day so 1-1 is always avaliable. i am so very excited. Three weeks today. It. Seems. Ages. Away!!
