Hello all!!!!

 Hello everyone!!!!! I have been a member for some time now but I never post. I'm more like a voyer on here. I have finally finished all my pre op appointments and got the call yesterday that I was approved and surgery was scheduled for January 26...... I cried so many years of joy. I was so excited and yet so nervous. Then I got a call today and the surgeon wants to do it on the 25th. I want to thank everyone for all the insightful information that I needed to keep me grounded and focused on what I know is best for me.....

Congrats on getting a date...see you on the loser's bench real soon!

 Congrats!  I hope you'll post more too,..the more the merrier! :)

 Thanks guys I feel welcomed I sure will be posting more!!!

Congrats Daisy.

I'm in Chicago also.. Where are you having your surgery? 

I'm so happy for you.  This is the best thing I have even done for myself.  You will be so happy...

I'm here for you, if you have any questions.

 That's great news. I remember how excited I felt when finally given a date... in a couple more weeks you will be home, basically healed on well on your way to wonderful changes in your body and your life. It's a wonderful ride... welcome aboard.

Congrats on getting a date! Can't wait to get mine....

I am as happy for the rest of you getting a date as I am for myself!!! Feb 4th for me so I have to wait a little longer (basically because I'm getting it in Mexico and have to get a passport, etc) but it's so exciting to think that getting this weight off is an actual possibility for me now. can't wait to be on the losers bench with you!

 Thank you all so much..... I am having the surgery at Westlake hospital. Dr Tiesenga
