You look great! Keep up the good work! I hope to be loosing soon. Surgery is Nov. 6th!

Very inspiring story. Thank you!

Long story short I am scheduled for my surgery on Nov. 6th. I am very excited about it but I am also very worried but not for the obvious reasons. My husband and I have struggled with our weight together our entire relationship (8 yrs.). We have tried to diet just about the entire time and always have failed. Now that I am having my sleeve done I am so excited and I feel like I finally have hope that I wont be this way forever. One of my main concerns is that my husband is clueless about the surgery and what I will be going through. I feel like he has no idea what I am about to experience. I encourage him to research stuff with me and become educated about this process, but he doesnt seem to care. I am afraid that I am going into this ready to change so many things in my life, but he is going to be in shock when it happens. I want him to know what I am going through and really learn so that he can be a good support person. He is completly supportive that I am getting my sleeve, but he says that he just wants to make me happy so I am not sure how he really feels. He says he plans on dieting with me and trying to loose weight and work out, which I really hope he does and I will try my hardest to do my part. I guess my question is what can I do now to get him totally onboard and educated about what I am about to go through? Has anyone else been through this or have any advice? Thanks so so much!

Congrats. You look great!

When I get down and nervous about my upcoming surgery nov 6th I will look back to your post for inspiration! Congrats on your accomplishments! Look forward to feeling how you feel!

I have this problem but I am still pre-op. I am worried it will get much worse after the surgery...

My surgery date is November 6th too! And my birthday is 4 days later on the 10th. What an awesome birthday present we are giving to ourselves!

Thinking of all you ladies! Good luck!

I am November 6th too! So nervous and excited! Good luck to you!

You look great. Congratulations! My surgery is November 6th. I can't wait to be where you are at!

I can't wait to have the normal feeling. I am a size 24 now. Surgery date is November 6th!

I am the same way. Love Halloween but get depressed every year because I can never find a costume. Next year will be different! My surgery is scheduled for November 6th!

I am the same size now that you were starting out. My surgery is nov 6th. I can't wait to have the feeling you are having. I am so nervous but ready to have the actual surgery over with. Congrats on your weight. I can't wait to shop at a real store.

Thanks ladies. I asked this question because I was worried that being put to sleep and them having to open my jaw to be put to sleep would make it worse. I know any time you go to have surgery they ask about jaw popping and pain etc. I am just worried about it being stuck when I wake up from surgery.

Mine is scheduled for November 6th! Election Day and my b day is November 10. Happy birthday to me!

Well I just found out my surgery date today. My date will be November 6th! I am very excited. One concern I have is I have tmj. My jaw is sore at all times. I can't yawn or eat anything that I have to open wide to eat. I am wondering if this will get worse after surgery. I had my jaw checked out a few months ago and he just suggested resting my jaw. Anyone experience this? Thanks!

I just got my date today too. Same day. Nov 6th! I am nervous and excited.
