Date Set! January 21st.

Just as I was getting discouraged and was finding reasons to cancel this whole thing, I heard from the doctor and my date is set for January 21st!  I'm excited and scared.  Not so much of the surgery any more, but the recovery period.  I want so much to eat perfectly, but I fear I'll do something wrong or have a rare complication that I'll never be able to recover from.  

I think I just have to remember the big picture.  What this surgery will bring, not what it will take away.  Yey!

Congratulations on getting your date.  I, too, have the same fears. Normal, don't you think?  I will revise from the lap band.  It helps to know that others can relate. I remind myself that the complication rate is very low and that we have to go into this thing with a positive mind.  You'll do great.

Thank you so much, and good luck with your procedure!  Statistically, we should do well, with least amount of complications.  

i have the same sleeve date too ! I also have the same fears as you !

 

I have thought long and hard and have prepared myself the best that i can. I just try to keep my thought to the positive , how great i am going to feel and look !

Your going to be fine because Im going to be fine too !

so hears to us and our January  21 birthday sleeve day !!

Christine

 

Yey Christine!!

Thank you and I wish you the best on the 21st!  New life starts.  My birthday is on the 14th, but I might have to change it to the 21st!   

I just got my date today, too. I'm 1/16. Both elated and terrified...but mostly excited! The approval process was ridiculously easy, and that just reinforces for me that it's the right thing to do. Normally, when i have to fight for things, they end up not being the greatest decisions, but when things come easy...well, it seems like "a sign". :)  Good luck!

 

Congrats! My surgey is the 28th and I can't wait! I'm not scared at all but I will bewhen it gets closer. Here's to a better life for both of us ! Good luck!

I am the day after.  I also am converting from a failed lap band.  Have you checked in on the Jan surgery board, so many of us starting the New Year out right.
