Hello all fellow Novembers...I am new to the thread but not to the forums (moved over from October:) My surgical team is submitting for November 12. I am in Decatur, Illinois and am having the RNY. Starting wt. 280 Current wt. 264 goal wt. 148 I am super excited to have you all as surgery buddies <3

So super happy for you...prayers for speedy recovery!

Welcome kkelly...I will keep my fingers crossed you hear back soon re: your approval!

I am sooooo jealous everyone is getting their dates BUT incredibly happy for you all and will be sending thoughts and prayers your way!!

Dee, I have actually been on an all liquid diet before for 8mos. and it is really not that bad. Keep your mind occupied for the first few days and try to avoid TV for the first week or so (the food commercials are KILLER), but after that its smooth sailing! BEST OF LUCK ON YOUR WLS JOURNEY!

I'm thinking about paying to have it waxed....I was gonna have hubs shave but I got to thinking about the itching when it's going to be growing in post-op EEEEKKKKK,

Hey DebbieDenise I'm from Illinois and just spent a beautiful week up your way on Mackinac Island!!

My surgical group has you go on a pre-op diet to lose 5-10% of total body weight, to show that you are dedicated to making the post-op changes required for long term success. Also they have told us (my sister-in-law) and I are making this journey together) if we gain any before surgery, we are OUT!

I will not miss: Huffing and puffing crossing the parking lot at work Always being hot Never looking good in my clothes Never wanting to go out Not fitting in airline/ theater/ ride etc...seats Not being active Not being comfortable being intimate Not being able to breathe after eating Giant, heavy, skirted bathing suits Watching from the sidelines Feeling like I'm wearing a fat suit/ being uncomfortable in my own skin Spending all my hard earned money on massive quantities of food Not fitting in allll my beautiful jewelry Granny panties Ugly utility style bras Horrible back pain Sleeping in the recliner Staying inside all summer ............
