Full On Fell Out!

I have a DATE!! A REAL day and time! I will be having gastric bypass surgery on August 9th! I'm still in shock and wondering if I will wake up any minute. My last appt with Dr. Lowe will be on the 26th and my pre-op for the hospital will be August 1st.  I'm so nervous now I can't stand myself!  All that in a day... email the office manager more often!  Thanks for sharing in my good news. Hugs.

Oh Shawana, that is fantastic news!!!!  I know this has been a real nightmare for you and now there is truly light at the end of the tunnel.  Congratulations!!!   Hugs, Donna

Thank you so much! Its been rough and I think it will only make me appreciate it more!

 Great news!!!! That was fast! Don't worry about waking up...this is a dream come true. Save me a seat on the losers bench. Patsy

You got it! Plenty of bench for everyone. You will be right behind me if not before! I had to wait because someone besides Ellen knows what that big V word is!   Vacations... who needs them.  LOL My date is the week we are supposed to go to Panama City Beach! Isn't that always the way!  Vacation can wait!

YEAH!  Good for you!  August 9th will be here before you know it.  You will be in my thoughts and prayers.  E

Hey, E! Good to see that pretty face. Everything going well? We have missed you! Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. I'll use them wisely. Hugs

Congratulations Shawana!  That was fast once it got going!  August 9th will be here before you know it, do what you can to prepare now.  Anything you can do to lose weight and get healthier prior to surgery is going to be a help during recovery.  Do you have a pre-op diet that you have to follow? Take care. Ellen

Liquid diet here we come! I've been walking and swimming for months now. Haven't dropped a pound, but I feel better for (and from!)  the workouts. I've had my bag packed since April... I'm ready to go!

 WOW.. I am so happy for you!  Do the happy dance!!  That is one of the best feeling calls you will ever get... (unless you get one from Ed McMahon.. so we can buy all new designer clothes!)  My surgery is Monday and I still feel like it is still all a bit surreal at this point.  But as the days tick by it is getting more and more "real" to me.   Congratulations!!  I know you are super excited!!
