 |  *Got a Surgery Date*
I got my surgery date of August 4th!  I'm so happy! The day before my 13th Wedding Anniversary. But I'm not that concerned, I'll take what was given and be happy that, I have to cancel the trip we were planning that weekend.....no biggie! We can celebrate the 2 dates together next year. I've already went on several trips this year. I feel very fortunate that this process has been short and simple for me to get a date....compared to others that I have read about. I was expecting it to be a few more months. The sooner the better!
I'm not worried about the surgery just hoping there are no complications after. I've had my appendix & gallbladder removed already plus a C-Section so I'm prepared for the pain & experience of the whole surgery thing. I feel like a pro at that.
I do have a question, I am wondering if I will be able to go to the beach 3 weeks out from surgery? I'm thinking not, I probly need to be close to home while getting adjusted, but my mom and sis want me to go with them.
I love this site and hope to be helpful to others, as everyone has been to me. Feel free to join me on myspace for lots of pictures. Thanks.

I look forward to being on this journey with you. It will be nice having someone in the same boat... date wise. Surgery and Anniversary! lol 
My doc does not require any pre liquids but does want me to loose close to 20 lbs. I'm thinking on doing a liquid crash diet anyway myself for a week to loose some weight. How about you?

Congrads on your surgery date and wow are you in for the ride of your life and it is so life changing for the better, health and all. The date is only a few weeks away, I am so excited for you. It was the best thing I ever done for myself and am so greatfull every day for how my health and just my whole life has changed. I feel like a new person now, and when I look at my old pictures it is like who was that person.
As far as going to the beach 3 weeks after surgery, you will know if you can handle it and make sure you bring a chair along if you do go and to take it easy and to take care and not to overdo yourself at the beach. In just a few weeks you will be on the losers side of the bench and I will keep it warm for you till you get here.
You will be in my prayers for a succesfull surgery and and a speedy recovery.

Congratulations on your date we are on the same day! I don't have to loose any weight, just not allowed to gain. I have lost some though.
