    Anyone go into surgery alone?

    I will be alone due to the Covid restrictions. My husband is dropping me off and coming back the next day to pick me up.

    Anyone for October 2020?

    October 6!! Finished all the appointments, surgery delayed due to Covid and finally happening next week!
  3. I'm 50 and have only discussed it with my mother, husband, and 3 children. My children are 13, 15, & 17 and have seen me up and down in my weight struggles but mostly up. I don't have a surgery date set, I'm still working on the required nutritionist visits for insurance. They have all been supportive. I do not plan to share it with anyone beyond that. I have asked my kids not to share with friends. I am generally open but I don't feel this is anyone's business. I am not ashamed, I just don't think I have to justify, explain, or educate. I am a teacher and undoubtedly school will be in session before I get approved. I plan to tell my Principal I am having a procedure and need time off but she knows I have thyroid issues so I'll leave it at that. Truly I find that my support comes from those who are facing the same weight struggle and are more understanding. My workplace is not like that.

    JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2021 GROUP

    I will be 51 before I will be able to have surgery. I am not scheduled but am currently meeting with a nutritionist and completing others insurance required appointments. I have thought of having the surgery off and on for years but have recently decided I need the help. I feel much as you do Kimmisi. I just want my outside to match my inside. I have been so busy with work, family and school that now it's time for me. I just finished my Masters this spring also and am ready to apply myself to a new challenge. Wishing you the best of luck with your surgery and journey. Looking forward to hearing more...
