Default Oh Dear!

Hello to anyone reading...
I have been reading all of your posts for a few months now and havent posted accept for a couple private messages. The support I have gotten from you guys without you even knowing has been amazing!! LOL!!
The reason for my post is that I just got THE CALL and my surgery has been scheduled for June 9th!! OMG!!
Did anyone else feel a little bit weird when they first got this call with an actual date?? Like Holy *(&^ this is really happening??
I have so many emotions running through me........

Congratulations on getting your date Julia! I can understand your emotions. I am still waiting to get a confirmed date, but tentatively, I'm scheduled for 6/20.

Good luck on your WL journey and keep us all posted on how you do!

It's actually quite surreal at this moment.
She called and told me she had great news... I was approved!! Then told me my surgery is on the 9th and I need to be at Pre Op meeting on the 4th to meet with the anesthesiologist, the nutritionist, the doctor, the nurse, the support group director..........
whoa!! it's just so crazy...

I hope it happens for you SOON!! Set in stone!!

Thumbs up Yay!

Yes, you just reminded me of how I felt when I got the call. I was even more "freaked" out because they were willing to give me a date in two weeks but I opted for a later date because I wanted be prepared and ready for the change.
It is always exciting to read when others get approved and a date. Congrats and best wishes to you.
