I'm so sorry to keep you all in suspense - I had to leave work and haven't had access to a computer until today...

The big day is JUNE 15th!  That is 14 days from tomorrow... Coming up fast.

I have a question for the ladies- Did anyone have to remove their fake nails prior to surgery? 

I really need a fill and don't want pay for one only to have them tell me I have to take them off.

Thank you so much everyone for sharing your journeys so that I can learn from it.

If I come in here after three weeks and start whining that I am "stalled" and "why am I not losing" you have my permission to smack me! 

I'm sure I will be back soon asking a million questions if I can't find the answers in previous posts...

Elena -

I can't believe how fast the 6 month supervised diet went!

I've been watching your journey and you are AMAZING...   You definitely have provided a lot of great advice to me through your previous posts to others. 

Thank you for sharing your journey - you are an inspiration!

LisaAnn..

They offered me your 6/8 date but that day my brother is having hernia surgery at Ridges and I couldn't do that to my poor parents - have two kids in surgery at two different hospitals at the same time! 

The 15th will give me time to get my pre-op physical in and do the pre-op class and to get my house in order.

Man am I jittery - nervous and excited!  I don't feel hungry at all... I wonder if anyone else felt that way prior to surgery..

Let's stay in touch since our journeys will be so close together!

LisaAnn,

Thanks for the offer for the hospital visit - I'm one of those people that likes to sleep until they boot me out.  I will definitely call if I'm needing company :)

What's an angel?  I've heard that term used on here, but wasn't sure what it is?

I got the impression that it was someone that has been through surgery and is well into their journey.. I could be wrong.

Any "old timers" want to chime in and help answer this question?
