Did anyone else have discomfort from the gas they put in your tummy?  I wish I could have a small midget jump up and down on my tummy!!!! Let me know

My surgery is 16 hours away!!!! So many mixed feelings going thru my head.  I know my faith will guide me thru.  Wish me luck and pray that my surgery and recovery goes well.  And pray that my surgeon has a successful surgery :) Cant believe this day has come!!!!! Here is to a new me.

Hi everyone,
just got word today that I should be getting my surgery by next month!!!! omg is this really happening!!!!! Been fat so long dont even know what to expect!!! scared happy and excited all at the same time.  I have one more options class and then i will just have to wait for my referal number then it is off to my preopp!!!!!! Thank GOD!!!!! never thought that these classes would be over!!!!!!!

Kaiser called me yesterday to inform me that I will be starting my 20 week options program on August 19!!!!! Wish me luck.  Once that is done I will be put on the list to get my lap band surgery!!! woohooooooooo very excited.  I dont want to get gastric. Have seen that the results are about the same with the lap band. Does anyone have any input about that.  Hope I made the right choice.  Hope I look as great as all my OB friends!!!! Very proud of all of you!!!!!! Eventhough none of us have met I make sure that I log on at least 1 time a day, I feel as though all of you help me on my jorney.  xoxoxoxox

OK so yesterday I was at work and my cellphone rang, it was kaiser calling me to set up my 1 on 1 meeting.  They require that you meet with a counselor to make sure that everything is ok in order for you to begin classes.  Melissa the secretary told me that she had an opening for today!!! I didn't expect it to come this quick.  Well I went today and it went great.  The counselor said that I am a great candidate for the surgery and said that she was happy that I am making this decision before I get any older.  She said that I will have to wait about 2 months to get into the classes.  I was kinda bummed and she saw that I was and she just told me that they are trying as hard as they can to get me into the classes.  They are even adding classes she said.  So I guess for now it is a waiting game for me.  But I know all is in Gods hands.  So I will continue to be patient and keep my mind right.  She also asked me what my goal weight is and I let her know that it is 150..... The funny thing is that I felt silly saying it, like if I cant get there and she said that was a good weight for me.   lmao can you imagine heheheheheheh I get so excited just thinking about it.  wow.  Well I hope God blesses me with this surgery and keeps me healthy and happy.  I will keep all my friends informed of my progress.  I know all of you have been thru all these obstacles but it just feels like this is never gonna come.  lol patience Terri PATIENCE!!!!! lol

ok so tomorrow is orientation and im really excited.  one more hurdle to cross.  then it will be time for my 20 week options program.  they say it will take about a month to get into the program but i will update all once i get the info tomorrow.  I feel like I had a fast forward button, but i know i must be patient.  I feel like i cant be fat for another second, but i know that i must wait. but knowing that there is help out there so i wont be so overweight is very uplifting.  i will keep all informed of my jorney.  everyone tells me that i shouldnt share my jorney with people but i feel like i want to share this with everyone.  for the simple fact that there are so many people feeling the same way that i feel and feel like they are so alone but they arent.  people are gonna talk about you weither you fat, skinny short tall, light or dark i just really dont care what people think anymore, i want to make me happy it is my time to feel great!!!!!!!! people talk no matter what!!!!

One more week to wait and I will be at my orientation!!!! Kaiser requires you go to orientation and 20 weeks of classes to educate you on how to eat after your surgery...... wish it was faster than that but guess i should chill because I have been fat this long why not wait a little bit longer. I just thank God there is hope for us!!!!!!
