I start my 2 week pre-op diet on the 20th. It is all liquids and two snacks (an egg or yogurt). My birthday is on the 25th. This year will be booze and cake free. I am celebrating a new me! I can't wait until Nov 3. That is the first day of my new life.

Anyone from New York state?

Today is my first day on the forum. My surgery is scheduled for Nov 3 2020 and I am looking for my surgery squad. Who out there has similar surgery dates and wants to support each other?

I am hoping to get bumped up to October so I understand wanting to just get it done! The process takes so long and by the time you get to the stage of setting a surgery date, you are ready to do this thing! I hope you get your November date. I am so excited but nervous too.

November 3 here! 😄

Hey guys! I am scheduled for Nov 3 but am on a waiting list for an October slot. My surgeon is trying to work out an additional October date with the hospital. I have an October birthday so I really hope I can get in. This would be the best birthday present I could possibly give myself. I have been gaining steadily for the past 20 years and am approaching 300. My mom died last year after struggling with her health and obesity for her entire adult life. I want to honor her by taking control of my health and living more completely. I wish confidence, happiness, determination, and health for us all. Here's to good things, fall friends! 🧡🍁🍂🤎

I am having sleeve surgery. I weigh 271 and am 5'5. I am ready to feel healthy again. You? Btw, we've soooo got this!

I did the same thing! My surgery is Nov 3 2020. Lol. I offered to be a surgery buddy about a year too late. Teach me to look at the date....always late to the party!

I am scheduled for Nov 3. I would LOVE a buddy! I have so many emotions about this that my hubby can't understand having been naturally thin all of his life.

I am scheduled on November 3. Hooray! We've got this!

I just got approved yesterday! My surgery is scheduled for Nov 3 but I am on a waiting list for an October date if one opens up. I am very excited. I hope your approval comes through soon. I am a bundle of nerves but more than anything, I can't wait for this new tool to help me shed the weight that has limited me for so many years. I hope we can all support each other through this journey. I have around 150 lbs to lose. Cheering for you! -M
