I now have a date Yipeeeee

[BrianT]

arty0049:
I was told verbally today by admissions that I go into Hospital on the 7th of November for my Operation on the 8th.
Although I've not had my letter yet they said it will be sent out towards the end of this month confirming the date, so I hope I'm not tempting fate by sharing my good news with all you lovely peeps on here.
I say that because for a few weeks last year after first seeing the surgeon I wasn't sure I could go through with it. It will have been 14 months since my GP first referred me and although it's been a long time coming I have plenty of time to read the views of everybody on here, reading about the many positives and the relatively few negatives related to WLS, and as a result I am now much more relaxed about the whole thing. I do admit to the hair standing up on the back of my neck when they told me the date but it soon passed and now I just can't wait.

I'm sure as the weeks/days/hours pass some of the nervousness will come back but then I've only got to come on here and I'm fairly certain somebody will come along and tell me what a 42 carrot plonker I really am
So in the morning I'm going to get back into the habit of weighing myself again, and see if I can lose a bit before I go in.

I am so happy for you Brian. I know exactly how you feel and I expect we have all felt the same way as we undertake this life changing proceedure. I am confident that it will be so worth it though

I personally think that the pre-op diet is the worst part - if you can get through that you can get through anything

As I love milk I'm hoping that's what I get put on although I dare say I may be sick of it come the end of the 2 weeks.

Thanks everybody though, it's good to hear the experiences (even the bad ones) as I said in my post I may not have gone ahead had it not been for this place.

Soooo pleased for you, Brian You are right to be nervous, I can't imagine there is anyone on here who wasn't at some point, especially when it is now so real for you. We won't be calling you any sort of plonker, that is what your wife is for, lol xxx

Brian! Brian! Brian! my stomach (currently large - soon to be small sometime in the future! ) has just performed a massive flip for you! I think that you wait so long just to hear about a date that when you finally get one it must feel like a bit of a dream! over the moon for you. hopefully I won't be too far behind you !
