All checked in! Now the wait begins.... Message said arrive at 6am for 8 am surgery but apparently it's 8am arrival for 10am surgery. I'm anxious to so something other than sit and wait...and I'm SO thirsty!! Losers bench here I come

Tomorrow is the day! It's finally here . I'm packing my bag and getting my liquids and vitamins all ready for the week. I can't wait for it to be over so I can be on the other side where the losing can start! Good luck Novembers!!

This is one of the side effects my case worker talked to me about. Apparently it's completely normal

I'm also scheduled for surgery on 11/26 and am currently on vacation. I've allowed myself a few beers followed by a TON of Water for the last two days. After tomorrow no more alcohol for me. I wanted to enjoy my vacation but I want my surgery and my new life more!! Good luck!!

Sweetv123 I'm Nov 16th too in SF Bay Area

Surgery is scheduled in less than a week and I have a terrible case of the "what ifs"! Not about the surgery but about after and all the changes physically and mentally. So much to think about.... Anyone else experiencing this? Good luck and congrats to all the Novembers!

You look amazing! Congrats .

Single in Cali with a sleeve surgery date of 11/26 Hoping to break the cycle of dating crappy losers because I've seen myself as the fat girl no one could possibly be interested in Looking forward to the new me!

5'5 highest weight 225 current weight 199 sleeve surgery scheduled for 11/26!!

I'm scheduled for Nov 26th. It's coming up quickly! I'm not so nervous about the surgery itself, more about staying under goal weight up until surgery and all the changes after surgery. Otherwise I'm excited and ready!! Good luck Novembers! Jules

Thank you!! I found out today first thing this morning. I'm excited and overwhelmed at the same time Marcia let me know if you hear back, I have my fingers crossed for you I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow and what all is involved so you can know what to expect. I'm positive you'll be right behind me with a date Jules

Missrose I got my surgery date! And it's two weeks from today! I'm excited and nervous at the same time I'm mostly nervous that when I go tomorrow to meet with the case manager I will have gained weight and she will cancel everything! Today I'm doing my lab work and tomorrow I'll be at Kaiser Richmond all day for a class, physical, and meet with case manager. It's all happening so fast!! How was your weekend? How are things going with you? Jules

Marcia I agree. Only you know what's best for you. Dr Fisher wouldn't have approved you for surgery if he felt it wasn't beneficial to you Don't let your family get you down. Maybe they will come around. And age shouldn't matter! It's about your health. If this is something you feel strongly about doing and feel its the best thing for you and your Dr agrees then you should do what is right for you. I hope you're family can see the benefits and be excited and happy for you Hang in there! Julianne

Hey Marcia Checking in to see how your week went? And how was the class? Jules

Hi Marcia I don't think I've taken that one yet. I had a 2 hour class I had to take before I could get a referral, and then had the 4 hour class where they gave me the binder. Let me know how it is and what it's like I will be at the next support group on Nov 7. I'd love to meet you in person Hope your week is going great so far Jules

Hey Marcia! I'd like that too. Been a rough week for me as well, but today's a new day and we'll get these 8lbs off!!! We'll keep each other on track and do it together Jules

Hi Missrose I'm in almost the exact same position as you! Also going through Kaiser Richmond with Dr Fischer and have 8 lbs to lose I had my visit with the psychologist last week. Fingers crossed we can both get rid of these last 8 lbs and get our surgery dates scheduled Jules
