Hi fellow October folks - Thought it would be fun to do a roll call and to see our surgery months/twins. I extrapolated as much as I could from our Surgery Thread but if I missed anything....feel free to cut and paste and repost and add your date. Good luck to us all!

Oct 23 is my date and I'm so excited! I leave 10/4 for a week long cruise and come home to start my pre-op diet on 10/13.

Hi all, Anyone have an October 2019 surgery date? Mine is 10/28/19 (my surgeon is away for 2 weeks, so I'm at the end of the month). Oh, the holidays are going to be so weird this year (my birthday too, which is 11/19).

10/23! feels like forever away.

I'm October 1st. Wow, time has flown by. I started my self pay journey back in April and thought October 1st would never get here. Now, I have spent most of my time reading books, work books, YouTube videos, and mostly this forum for wisdom and insight for my upcoming journey.
OMG!!! I just ran out of coffee. I need to purge from caffeine and I start my pre op diet on the 24th. So, I have purchased some bulk organic black tea and caffeine free green tea. I will be mixing for the next few days until I get to Decaf status to avoid and "withdrawal" from caffeine. I don't drink much coffee, usually 2 or maybe 3 cups. However, my body may beg to differ with my summation of the caffeine debate. I am starting to pack as well. Oh yes...I am one of "those" people. Always way early and always prepared.
Well better go count my Q tips again (for the 30th time).

10/23! feels like forever away.

Coming to the end of my 6 months supervised weight loss visits, per insurance requirement. Everything has been submitted to insurance for approval. Should have an answer in two weeks or so. If all goes well I am looking at the end of Oct for surgery. I would like to get to know any other sleevers or those who are on the journey to be sleeved. Needing a great support system/ friends during this journey. Feeling alone in this since I don't have the support from family at this time.

Yayyy! Congrats! Excited for you!😊

I can completely relate. That is my biggest fear is that I wont lose the weight either, but then I see everyone's success stories and know that I will also add my story, so hang in there! U got this!!! U will do GREAT!

😊👊👍

Hello, joining y'all. Just found out today I'm approved for Gastric Bypass. It's been a stressful journey where i initially wanted the sleeve but after research choosing the bypass. Yay! They said sometime in October and I'll have a definitive date next week.

Has anyone struggled making the decision between a by-pass vs Sleeve?

Hey guys just wanted to share some more of my small but BIG victories for me as I went to my primary doctor today I was weighed like always and to my surprise I am 8 more lbs down I cant believe it 30lbs in almost a month with just three days to go until surgery day I am so excited and everyone around me is excited so it leaves little room for me to be nervous but I still am just a but but I do keep telling myself that the risk of not having the surgery are far greater than having it as of right now Im good to go so come on Monday!!!

Clipping my toenails and breathing at the same time 🤣 Which I can actually do now!

Here is the list I made preop, my weight loss bucket list as it is:
1. cross my legs - check! I love crossing my legs now and do it all the time!
2. sneeze without peeing - condition has improved greatly
3. rock climbing - haven't tried yet, kinda forgot it was on my list
4. run a 5k - currently training and looking for a race
5. be comfortable wearing shorts and not just capris in summer - check! I never used to wear shorts, but now I have 3 in my new size and only one pair of capris
6. buy a swimsuit that doesn't have a skirt - check!
7. waterski again - gotta get to the lake this summer to knock this one off
7. Sex. More energy for it, more fun positions to try - DOUBLE CHECK!
Some bonus things: I like being able to pop myself up to sit on counters, I can sit on the floor without hurting my hips, I can buy a much bigger variety of shoes because I no longer need wide widths. Unfortunately I'll need to replace all my wide calf boots because they look ridiculous on me now.

Cant wait to receive my surgery date. Pre-OP appt this month! Phewww!
