6 days and a sleep..

I only have 6 days and a sleep left before my surgery. I am starting at 471.5 lbs (as of last weigh-in).I am 5'6" tall with BMI 76. I can't wait for my surgery. Time is crawling along but I am visiting my dad for the weekend so that should go by quick. I will be admitted to the hospital on Tuesday afternoon and have bloodwork and some tests done then Wednesday is my day! Wish my surgeon a good night's sleep and skilled hands so that everything goes well. Soon to be a loser.. Lisa

Wishing you the absolute best lady! ~~healing energy~~ *hugs* ~Lara

Thank you for your warm wishes and healing energy. I hope this surgery is as easy on me as my C-section was. I can't wait to be a loser. Lisa

greetings lisa! congratulations on your upcoming surgery. my weight on day of surgery was 463, and i'm down to 311 after six months! i still have a quite a ways to go, but i feel that i've gotten off to a good start. hope things go as well for you as they gone for me. best of luck to you! deb -152

WOW! You are doing soooo awesome. I hope I do as well. I am hoping to be down 100 lbs by Christmas which is 4.5 months so I think that is a very realistic goal for my starting weight. You must feel so much better down 152 lbs. I can't wait to get there myself. Keep up the great work! Now scoot over and make room for me on the loser's bench Lisa

thanks lisa! and there's lots of room for you on the loser bench! deb

kewl. I can't wait to be a loser!

Lisa, .......GOOD FOR YOU!!!!! I would be so excited if I were you I wouldnt be able to sleep for the next 6 days. Best of luck to you and I will definitley be sending good thoughts your way.

I am very excited. I am also so at peace with this decision. People keep asking if I am nervous and I am actually not at all. I have been sleeping better than usual. I probably won't sleep the night before because I will be in the hospital that night. I hope you get to have your surgery soon as well. I want everyone to feel as happy as I do at this point! Lisa

I wasn't nervous either. Except for the last minute jitters when I had to wait in the pre-op holding area for a bit longer than expected. I wasn't nervous because I knew this was the right decision for me. And it has been. Sounds like you're on the right track too. I wish you all the luck...not that you'll need it...but you have my wishes anyway! Lisa Let us know how you do! Julie
