~PLEASE SIGN IN~OFFICIAL JUNE ROLL CALL!

Happy June Everyone! I am scheduled for the 16th. There doesn't seem to be a lot of Lap's in here, but that's ok. We will be a small but might force! Let's all try to carry our excitment over into the coming months and be just as excited about it down the road - when it gets bumpy - we can carry one another through! I'm SO excited! It has gone really fast for me. I began with my orientation in January, then after the OK from the internist I scheduled all the other appointments. Insurance went really fast! The longest was for the sleep study and then having to wait 4 weeks and see the doc again for clearance for surgery. He had to check and see if I was being compliant and using the CPAP. Did I say how excited I am!!! Only 2 more weeks!! Best wishes to each of us, Featherstone

Hello everyone!!! What took me so long to find THIS board I'll never know, but I'm glad I finally did. My surgery date is June 14th and I can't wait. I just got my surg date last week so I don't think it has really HIT me yet. I'm a little nervous about the fast but I have a few friends and family that are going to fast (in prayer) with me, but I may call on a few of you when I wake up dreaming of enchiladas. I am happy to meet all of you and congratulations. MsSmiles

Hi to all the June Babies! What a month this is going to be for us. I am scheduled for surgery on June 26th. Wow! It is all becoming real. Back in November when I got my date, June seemed so far away. I see the internist on the 5th and see the surgeon and go for my pre-op on the 6th. I will be starting Optifast on the 11th, as I have to be on it for 2 weeks prior to surgery. I wish all of you the best of luck in your upcoming surgeries and I am looking forward to being on the losers' bench with everyone soon. Have a great day. Heather

I am also glad that I found this board. I am having open RNY on June 26th and do not have to be on liquids, just the day before, with the bowel prep. In my reading, I think that people who are having lap surgery tend to be put on the diet to shrink the liver so it is easier to move around in there with the equipment. When they are opening you up, I guess it doesn't matter. I am so thankful for all the support out there from all of you. We will be a great resource for each. Take care and keep in touch.

Hey there all of my fellow June Buddies I am so excited I am to have Surgery on the 15th of this month and I have to say the time seems to have come and gone so fast I am currently on the ADKINS and will start liquids next week end I am so glad to have found a board for people in June its easier to share your Joy Excitment and Fears with the same people who are having this done in your time frame I look forward to seeing everyone on the LOSSING SIDE OF LIFE and watching as we all transform our lives!!!! May the lord bless and keep us and guide our surgeons on our rebirthdays....

My surgery date is June 22! I'm so excited!!! Traci
