I went in for my psych appt on 9/1 and weighed in at 240.6! Surgical goal weight (pre-op) was 243 so I'm there plus some. I also met with the case manager and got my surgery date - 10/5. Now that it is real I am more "nervous but excited" than ever.
I have told my family/ closest friends at this point and they are all trying to be supportive, but they are also trying to talk me into doing something less drastic. It's tough. I went through a couple of days of second guessing myself, but now I am feeling more confident in this path than ever.
I just hope that I am able to be up and playing with my kiddos (ages 2 and 4) again quickly after surgery (I know, no lifting). We are traveling to see family for Halloween (1.5 hour flight), do you think that I'll be ok to travel/go swimming while there?
