Ok this is more exciting as crazy as it may seem than many if not all first dates I ever had before I got married.

So this date is the date with the rest of my life. Hopefully a start of a beautiful new relationship with me, food and well food.

I am so excited. I have no reservations or fears.. as of right now. I only told my husband the date. As it turns out my parents to my surprise are less than thrilled about my decision. This is the first time in my life I have not sought approval from my parents. It only took me 33yrs to obtain this feeling. So anyhow. I decided that I am not telling anyone in my family the date so they dont worry. I will just tell them when its done.

So now I begin starting the new me. But here is the screwed up thing about this whole process. I am over a month late. I have taken 3 test all negative so I figure its just nerves, stress ect. And here is the thing. (tell me ladies if I am wrong) I am only late when A: I want to get my tom and do whatever, or B: I have something planned. SUPRISE SUPRISE. I had decided a long time ago children is not something I want. I love my career and I dont feel I am cut out to be a parent. This is why I have 2 dogs. I love my boys more than it is probab to beconsidered normal. So if my beloved TOM does not come over the weekend I will be forced to go see my gynocologist and have him take a looksy. Yeah me. :lovechoc:

Now if you are still reading this then you are wanting to know my date. Well my date is Sept 30. I dont have to do any kind of preop stuff like liquids for 2wks before ect. Surprised? I know I was. Anyhow I just want to say thank you to all who have read this post and answered my and other prebanders questions. You truely have made a valuable contribution to those of us in the wings. It helps settle the nerves. I for one.. am gateful:smile2:

Hi Maranda,

Congrats on getting a date. As of today the 6th I am on day three of the Liquids. MY date is sept 18. I am excited for me and glad to have all the bandsters for support.

I know it is neve wracking about your TOM. I used to skip or be late when I was stressed. But at 47 going through menopause. Last night at work I was having cramps. I thought surely it has something to do with this liquids and going to start its been 8 months without. but my luck it will happen before at the day of surgery.

What do you do for a living just curious. Well got to go. Good luck and talk to you later. We wil do this together

Renea

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
