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.

32, class of '97...just sleeved by dr aceves Monday may 21!

I'm 32 and while I was a total rebel with Docs, a double wallet chain (with charms, locks, and keys hanging from it), purple streak, and singer in 2 rock bands in the '90s -I was always the big girl. I never let it slow me down, but I still missed out on a lot because of my size. Guys seemed to love my outgoing fierceness, but were too scared to date me. So I had a guy buddies. My blessing and a curse all in one.

I think that after I'm sleeved and later down the road when I'm healthy it will be like a do-over in a sense. No I don't want to be that crazy lady dressing WAY too young for her age, but...I'll get to do all the little things my weight took away with my hubby and little boy! I will play outdoors with my eight year old, I will feel worthy of my hubby's physical attraction to me (damn't I wanna experience the dirty thirties! Lol) I will have the tools to keep my child from being robbed by fat, and maybe -just maybe- I'll start singing my happy song again!

Yeah, the ninties rocked, but our adventures have only begun!

I'm 31 and this brings back memories and makes me feel old! Class of 99 here. I wish I would have had surgery in my 20s! It will still be a few years from now still that I'll be rocking my new body (I just had surgery - need to lose 120 lbs and have excess skin removal and etc)! Such a long, long road ahead of me! My class didn't have a 10 year reunion, I am wondering if we will even have a 20, now with Facebook everyone stays in touch that way!

Hello all :) So glad I found this thread!

I'm 30 and living in Minnesota. Was sleeved a week ago and doing awesome. Already down 14.4 lbs and not looking back. I am so very thankful for this opportunity to start my life over, gonna have a much better next 50 years than my first 30.

34 here. Surgery less than 2 weeks away for me... can't wait! And what a fun forum! :)
