I have a really big decesion to make I guess. I probably can have surgery before Christmas if I want. I just don't know if I want to..I talked with my docs nurse and she tells me that if you are ready it doesn't matter what time the surgery you will go in full steam. I really really want to have surgery as soon as possible. I just don't know if I can do this so close to Christmas. They said my projected surgery date would be some time in middle of December. I know this is a really big step in the unknown for me so I toss and turn at night trying to make the right decision. I feel like a new year would be a new beginning. I may be forced to have it before the end of the year.. I know there are a lot of of people in this forum that has had this done. Any thoughts or am I just over thinking everything..

It's a personal decision.... I am hoping for a mid December date.

I want to start the new year off right... new year... new me!

I originally thought I wanted to have my surgery the week after Cmas, then I got approved and passed all the pre op requirements sooner than I thought I would and then the nurse said how about Nov 23rd and I was like Ok. I am so focused on getting this done that the holidays are not about the food for me right now, I am not even fearing them! I don't want to risk gaining any of the 44 pounds I have taken off pre op.
