I'm south of Dallas and my surgery date is Dec 3rd. Good to meet y'all . It will be great to share our journey

Yes I do and it starts the day BEFORE Thanksgiving! Uggghh lol I was thinking that would be my last hoorah, but it's A-OK with me. I'm ready to start the journey: )

December 3 for me!

I just got my date! December 3rd! It's so much sooner than I expected, my dr had a cancellation and I'm soooo excited!

I just found out my date today and I'm Dec 3rd! I start my preop diet on the 26th, no thanksgiving for me! I'm just fine with that.. bring on the healthier me????

@Grandma2tweeies I should know mine today or tomorrow as well! So excited for you!

I too am a low BMI soon to be sleever. I'm 44,207 and 5'7. I've battled weight all of my life being 269 at my heaviest over 10 years ago. I was able to lose 120lbs on my own after an unhappy marriage and keep it off for over 10 years. After a hysterectomy & hypothyroidism I'm losing my battle keeping it off and I refuse to give in and gain the rest of the weight back I fought so hard to get rid of and keep off. I have not told many people because the ones I have confided in don't understand why I would do something so drastic when they don't see me as "that big". Well I'm here to tell you there is no need to wait until we have even more to lose and the battle and risks of surgery are greater. I'm also self pay and am happy to have the opportunity to lengthen and better the quality of my life. In just the last 30lbs I have gained I have noticed things that I had not felt since I was much heavier. I can't enjoy diving like I did, my hip joints ache, I can't get on my horses without assistance anymore and so on. I'm so happy to have found this thread and to meet you all. I'm hoping to hear by thurs my surgery date and am suspecting early Jan. I know it will come with a new set of struggles but I'm feeling so blessed to have an option like this, it gives me hope to finally be able to give me a fighting chance at winning this life long battle. I'm so excited I can't hardly stand it and that's my story in a nut shell!

Hello! I am waiting to hear my date to be sleeved. I am supposed to hear by thurs and am expecting a 1st or second week in Jan.. I'm so excited to be on my way to my new healthier self!
