OMG, Marc! How cool. I live in the Austin area but will be flying out of Houston. My family lives in East Texas so I will be bringing my kiddos to hang out with them while I am gone.

My Aunt will be going with me. Where are you coming from? Will you be bringing a companion? We will have to stop and say hello. Are you planning on doing any of the tours?

I am currently pre op but I started at 342 lbs.

My lowest was actually 186 but then some health issues, twin pregnancy and depression (I lost my father who I was extremely close to) got me back up to 285 in the past 4 years. I got to 186 without surgery but just couldn’t stay there.

My body has Yoyo’d so much. About a year and a half ago I went from 286 to 229 and then skyrocketed back up to 285 after conceiving twins.

My surgery is scheduled for 4/4/19 and I couldn’t be more excited.

I plan on starting my pre op diet this week. Probably even tomorrow.

Curious, did anyone start their pre op diet early?

I start my pre-op diet on March 25th! My twins 1st birthday is 2 days before that. Pretty good timing I suppose. Lol. March is a busy month for me so I am hoping if I stay busy it’ll fly by!

Robin DaVette, I will probably see you there! I’ll be there April 4th.

I have Dr. Illan, as well!

Looks like we are mostly shooting for a 100 lb or so weight loss. I think it's definitely obtainable! I actually have about 110 to get to my goal weight of 175 and Ive thought about 165, as well. So Max 120 lbs.

I am just really excited to get this done. 39 days until I leave for my surgery but who is counting? LOL

Yay, Alwzla8, I am happy for you and excited to have another April person!

I’ll cross my fingers for you!

I am pass the nervous stage and at the excited and happy stage. I’m just ready for my life to change!

Hi, I just thought it would be cool to have others in the same month! It’s all good :)

I don’t plan to take off but a few days for work. I can just not lift heavy stuff. I am anxious for my time to get here!

Susie, I hope you get it for April! Keep me updated if you can. I’ll give an update, as well!

Not a single soul!? LOL

Guess I’m just an April Lone Ranger.

Anyone else having surgery in April? Maybe we can find surgery twins here. I thought I could start it off by asking a few questions.
