I have finally got a date for my VSG surgery!!!  Yay!  I was called today to get my date of July 27, 2011.  6 weeks from today I will be on the losers bench.  I am very excited.   I will have my gallbladder taken out, I will have a hernia repaired and meet my new sleeve. 

Yay!!!! Everyone is going to have to scooch over because I am soon going to be on the bench.

Congrats on your date! I get mine on Tuesday and I think it will be 07/13/11. I picked that day because its 3 days before my birthday. And was told that day looked good then I went to see the coordinator she said I should be able to do that day. So I too will be on the looser bench soon.

Thanks everyone.  I am very excited.  Right now I am not nervous, just relieved to finally have a date.  I feel like I have waited so long for this to happen.  Now that it has I can relax and concentrate on getting ready for the big day.  I want to lose a little bit more weight prior to the day. 

I could use all the advice I can get so if you have any words of wisdom please feel free to share with me.

Thanks again,

Sheila

Hello and welcome! My only advice would be to take it easy in your recovery - it sounds like you are going to need some rest with all that is going to get done! The first 6 weeks are the hardest. Also enjoy the ride!
