Where are my Flirty Thirties?

I'm 36 and live in Atlanta. My surgery is Aug. 31 -- in 13 days!

Is anybody else out there hoping to be done "cooking" (losing weight and getting tucked) in time for their 20th high school reunion? I'm just two years away from that, and I hope I'll be pretty close.

Hi All,

I am 33. I hope to have my surgery in July - 1 week before my 34th birthday :)

Has anyone gotten or will be getting plastic surgery?? Was wondering how the skin's elasticity was for us thrirty year olds!

Just turned 31 two weeks ago, and my initial consultation with the surgeon is next week.

I feel like I wasted my 20's being overweight, and limited.. looking forward to spending my 30s enjoying life instead :)

Hello everyone! I'm a 33 yr old married, mother of 2 (1-6yr old & 1-3 yr old) I am having the gastric sleeve on August 3, 2011 with Dr. Almanza in Tijuana, Mexico.

Hello class of '96 here. I am having my surgery on Aug 15 but I am very confused. I wanted a sleeve then was convinced by another surgeon to to rny... Help. I grew up thin all throughout my 20's never had weight problems just gained slowly. Now I'm after 3 kids its time for me. Any advice?

Hello! I'm 31, Class of '98. No surgery date yet. I'm still going though all the pre-op stuff. I hope to have surgery by the end of the year.

I remember the day last year when my "Scene" son came blaring through the doors excited about a buffalo plaid shirt to wear over his Ts. Oh, it was the biggest thing.. I about died laughing.. I think he thought Fall Out Boys invented it! Haha

I turned thirty-eight this month.. People tell me that I don't look it, and I always reply, "well, no... it's because I am CUTE!" Ha! ;p

Hi! :P Not 30 yet....but I will be next month, so I figured I better go ahead and claim this room!

Welcome! Nice to have you here. I am on the other end of the 30s and I guarantee I will not be entering the 40s room until the day after I turn it. ;)

HI everyone im 32 and ready to change my life. I was thin thru my teens until I had my 1st daughter and decided to get the depo shot forbirth control at age 20. Ever simce then Ive been battling with my worst enemy FAT !!!!! I had my last child 7 yrs ago and even gained more. I recently broke my ankle about 5 months ago and that was hell. A broken ankle hurts more than child birth and i tell you girls I had both my girls natural with no main meds at all. I blame the break on my weight. I was in a wheelchair for 3 months and even gained more weight :(. SO im definitely ready for a life change.

Hi there I'm 34 and people say that I look 28...so I'm not doing to bad....and its so funny that the stuff we wore so long ago is back...

  • 3 weeks later...

I was 38 on the day of my surgery and turned 39 10 days later. I'm going to stay part of this group until the very last minute, lol!!! Although, I'm looking forward to turning forty and being FABULOUS by that time next year!!! :)
