Oh my goodness!!!!! I've just been reading and trying to take it all in and today I got my surgery date for April 15!!! Pretty busy day in the big scheme of things...he he! I don't even have 2 weeks on the liquid diet and I haven't got all my stuff together yet!!! Yipes! Did this happen to y'all as well????

Actually I had one week to get prepared from the time I got my actual date until my surgery.

Congratulations on making such a life-changing decision. I have no regrets and would do it all over again in a minute!!!

Be sure to keep us posted and don't be afraid to ask any question no matter how stupid you think it is.

Have a great evening.

Well we are "twins" (almost). Mine is scheduled for April 14th. I'll think of you...and wish you well. It is exciting, and a bit nerve -wracking, isn't it?
