I don't post much, but just to let everyone know, after restarting the process 3 times and 3 years later, I have a date, Jan 14, 09. I'm excited, nervous but ready. Hubby even went on a diet to keep me company on my required insurance weight loss. I just made the magic number, but he lost 22 lbs eating more than me, not fair. Tomorrow is the pre op testing. I have started a blog, but when I tried to follow the directions for the weight loss ticker, it came out a bunch of computer jibberish. I am not computer stupid, but I feel really silly not being able to do it. do you put it in the signature spot?

Hi Sherry,
Congratulations on having a date! Mine is a week later on the 21st, we'll have to keep track of each other. I did the 6 month diet thing for insurance, but gained a few instead. The "last meal"syndrome! My surgeon has you do a 2 week diet. Its not bad1200 calories, then the 12th and 13th days are mushy food, the last day is just clear liquids...I think I can handle it.

As far as the ticker line, I have no idea either but I guess I've never tried. Maybe I'll try it tonight and see if I can get it.

Hello Nancy!

I am new on this forum, but I also have a surgery date this month on the 12th. Tomorrow is my pre-op. I just have this feeling that they are going to find something lacking in the tests  -  low calcium or something. I don't know whether anyone else has experienced this type of doubt before surgery.

Anyway, I will be watching the board here for news of both you and Sherry.

Hugs to both of you.

Congratulations on your date to begin you new journey!  Very exciting and three years to get there.  Amazing.  Be glad hubby lost all that weight.  Losing weight is never a bad thing.   You're on your way (or "weigh") now!

Keep us posted as it's always such fun to share with everyone.

Hello Cheryl!

I am new to the forum and having surgery on the 12th if all goes well with tomorrow's pre-op appointment. I am glad that things are finally coming together for you. I thought my wait had been long!

I could not get my weight tracker to work right either. It listed the first weight I had ever put in as my goal weight when I added a lower weight yesterday.

Looks like there are three of us having surgery about the same time. It will be fun to keep in touch.

I will be anxious to know how your pre-op testing goes.

Sherry, pardon me! The message addressed "Hello Cheryl" was for you and I misread your name! I am not nervous or anything, am I? Anyway, I wish you the very best.

Thanks everyone for you kind wishes and thoughts and I'm glad it wasn't just me with the ticker.
Those interrested, my pre testing went well, just long. Found out my surgery time too. 8:30am, be there by 5:45 am and its an hour 1/2 drive. Still have to wake up, shower and get dressed. I don't think I'll bother going to bed. eeekkks.
