Pre-surgery: What great things does the future hold?

I am scheduled for surgery on February 5, 2013. My family has a beach vacation planned in August and I wonder what size I will be and will I be comfortable in a bathing suit for the first time in a decade?

Does anyone else have plans or hope (or dreams, etc) in the next 6-12 months that would be significantly affected by banding (and you know, weight loss)?

      Yes, I splurged and bought a Marc Jacobs dress in a 14, currently a 22/24. I'm being banded in February as well. I want to wear it for my 14 wedding anniversary in July.

      This is a terrific question and reminds me to make a list of everything I can't do now that I WILL do as my weight goes down. I think first on my list would be more travel...I've ceased to travel as

    I moved to FL in June and went to Disney. I was disappointed that I also had to rent a scooter! My goal is to go before Christmas with at lease 100 pounds less!

    LOL, I live in FL too, maybe when you, pattygirl and I reach goal, we can meet at Disney and walk that whole park all day.

    Yup, I want to be able to finish this ride. I tried to train for it last year, but I just couldn't push my bulk fast enough, forlong enough to do it. My only concern is that I won't be able to lose the weight and train at the same time. So, if not this year, then next.
