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.

im 34 gonna be 35 in september!i cant wait to see the skinny version of me looking back in the mirror, but im scarred that it will also be a disapointment because i dont want to have more wrinkles looking back at me too. i dont have very many now because of my fat face, and im scared that all the fat is going to go away and im just going to be left with saggy old looking skin on my face. :unsure:

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?

Class of 99 here! I'm thirty and 10 days post op. I live in Northern Cali. Looking for friends to take this journey with. Email me at chasie2002@yahoo.com. I will also mention, I'm a nurse and a mmom ;)

Class of '96 here!.. 33 years old.. I have been battling weight since having my first child in 97, along came #2 in 99 since then it has been a constant struggle. Not one I ever had to contend with before.

No surgery date as I just was approved for all the pre stuff today.. Calling on Monday to make my first appointment because the Nurse was not at her desk when I was in the office or when I called later that day..

I live in Orange Park Florida and looking to connect with anyone going through, been through, considering etc.. WLS

Hi All, 36 here from Phenix City Alabama and just starting my process towards the surgery.....I am a military spouse and mother of 2 teen boys 18 and 15. I am hoping the road to surgery isn't to long as I am so ready since I finally made the decision to do it. My reunion is about 2yrs off as well, hadn't really thought about it. I laugh everytime I look at the old styles that are back, but oh to wear slouch boots and skinny jeans again and rock them....lol Looking forward to getting on the way!

Oh, I hadnt even thought about that. I have 6 years to go and didnt think I would before I decided on surgery. You just made my night!

Oh and class of 97 here :)
