Hi, Joanne: Good luck tomorrow. I am going in the same day as you and I know we will both be fine and losers before we know it. If you are like me you are going through a full range of emotions but don't let any of them get you down. We both know the better quality of life this will bring us. God Bless and Good Luck.

Hi Joanne! Big congratulations on your surgery date! I bet you are so excited! Just hang in there and try to be patient! Don’t worry if you are nervous, scared, excited or go through a thousand different emotions. This is all normal, so go with the flow! There’s really nothing you can do with all those feelings surfacing. You may start to doubt yourself and question your decision to have surgery. Just about everyone has had this happen to them. You’re making a decision to have a better quality of life and YOU deserve it!! That gut feeling or that little voice inside lets you know that you’re doing the right thing! Remember that we’re all family here and we’re ready to give you our support, lend an ear and not judge. You know you can always come here and get a dose of confidence and good will! There are lots of us who have had surgery and are in your corner rooting for you!! I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you today and that you are in my thoughts and prayers for a successful, problem-free surgery and recovery. I’m so happy for you. Soon you will be on the other side and will join the ranks of the losers. Get ready for your life to change forever. Wishing you much success in your weight-loss journey. Hugs to you today.

Well, only 4 more days before my surgery. I've been having trouble sleeping for the pat wek or so. Today I was so tired that I had to take a nap at 4:00. I only wanted to nap for an hour, but two hours later I woke up and couldn't believe what time it was. I've packed my suitcase and wrote down some things that I wanted to bring. I just know I'll forget something. Been having a hard time with my son. He insists on going to the hospital with me and my husband. He was going to sleep over my daughter's house Sunday night, but is really giving me a hard time. I don't want t him there. I don't want to see his face when they wheel me away. I just know I'll lose it if I do. For some reason, he doesn't want me to go there without him. I've tried to explain to him that he wouldn't be able to be with me during the operation, but he just wanted to go to the hospital and wait with my husband... My son is 7 years old! Got most of my lettrs written. I have my daughter to do again. I lost the first one in my computer after it went down... Figures, that was really emotional for me too! I still have to write one to my little guy... I'm not looking forward to that at all. I'm also getting nervous about be thinner. I don't remember what it's like. I used to be before I was married, but that seems like hundreds of years ago... Tomorrow I will try to get all the wash done and spend time with the little guy. Saturday probably the same thing. Sunday I will spend most of the day getting myself ready. All the girly things that need to be done. This will take a while! It's been a long time since I've done everything at once... I know I won't be getting much sleep in the next few days, so I guess I better go and get a head start...

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery and your new lifetime journey on the losing side. Right now you are probably on a rollercoaster emotionally - excited, nervous, scared.... This is normal - don't let it freak you out. Take the time over the next few days and 'center' yourself mentally - focus your mind on other things and keep yourself physically busy too. You will find that your big day will be here in no time and you will be calm and ready for it. We will be here ready to welcome you over to the losing side and support you in your journey. Good luck and hope everything goes well for you. Sarah G LapRNY 6/22/04 295/258/150

I've been APRROVED! "Thank you God!" After running around in the hot humid morning, trying to get my affairs in order, finalizing my will and things like that, I came home ready to colapse in front of the sofa in front of the AC when I got a phone call I didn't recognize. I wasn't going to even answer it, but since I was sitting at the table talking to my husband, I reached for the phone anyway... I saw the name on the caller ID, but didn't recognize it. It ended up being the name of the surgeon who is in with my surgeon. When the girl at the other end asked for me, I almost wanted to hang up. I was so afraid that she was going to tell me that I was refused because of the psych doctor's comments. He had just twisted everything I had said, around to make it sound like a was some sick puppy... Now I'm so excited, but NOW I'm getting scared! Go figure! Now I can start getting ready for the surgery... Now I have to go and get my son's school clothes because I won't want to be out shopping after the surgery....
