Time sure flies during the holidays! 24 more days and I leave for my surgery! Getting excited! We are having a blizzard here in Minnesota today - expecting more than 16 inches of the fluffy white stuff. Makes for a beautiful white Christmas!

I have 2 nights in hospital and 2 nights at hotel. Surgery on Thursday Jan 6th and fly home the following Monday Jan 10th. I booked an aisle seat so I can get up and stand and move a bit. I have talked tonquite q few people who have flown 3 to 4 days after surgery and none had problems. I just want to be done and back home to recover. Only 28 days to go! uote name='ohmmm' timestamp='1291772358' post='97609'] Hey there, I am also 5'7" and about 228 or so, I had lost 9 lbs, but then gained about 3 back. I am working out, but the holiday treats are getting me. Good luck with your surgery. I was wondering how that works with flying after the surgery, I decided to do January and not December because we are flying around Christmas. I also want to be in my own home afterward and not family, so that was another reason why I decided to wait. How long after the surgery will you fly home?

May I join in? I turned 48 in Nov and am hoping that this will be an excellent year! I am married to the love of my life. He has sure honored the "thick" part of our wedding vows! We have 5 adult children 3 boys and 2 girls, ages 24-19. 3 still in college and 1 in medical school. I am truely blessed with a job I usually love, a family I always love and lots of supportive friends. I have surgery on Jan 6th and will begin my journey to "thin" at that time. I have faith that the good Lord will be with me on every step of my journey and with my faith and family I can achieve my goals. Thanks to everyone on this board for your support, advise and prayers

Today the scale says I am down 11 pounds?! Why am I able to lose weight now that I am pre-surgery?! Whatever - I will take it and know that once I have my sleeve there is no chance I will ever weigh this much again.... YEAH!

Scale victory this morning! Down 10 pounds on my own pre-surgery diet! That's 10 less to lose post surgery!

What Dr are you using and where are you going? I am having surgery in Tijuana on Jan 6th with Dr Ramos Kelly. I will be arriving on Jan 5th. Best wishes on your surgery. -
This list is growing that is great! I hope we are all able to provide support to each other as we prepare for surgery and after! 2011 is going to be a great year for all of us! It's December already.... what comes next...January! I have surgery in 35 days - Jan 6th is my date! I will be leaving for Mexico in 34 days, cannot wait to get out of this cold Minnesota weather for a while - even if it's to have surgery. I am currently at 230lbs - lost almost 9 lbs in November by low carbing and eating more Protein. I am not a big Water drinker and have been trying to get in 50-60 oz a day. I know I will need to get at least that after surgery. SO 230 lb wonder where I will be at this time next year? I would like to lose 70 more pounds.... I think I can do it. I am 5'7" kim
