Good morning ladies! I was camping all weekend so I'm just now catching up on everything. I CANNOT beleive my surgery is on Thursday!!! I have so many emotions, it's pretty much impossible to concentrate.

Name- Melanie

Surgery August 2, 2012 in Duluth, MN

Age-:29

highest weight/current weight/ goal weight- 290 (at 9 months pregnant)/255/150

Anything else you'd like to share? I have a 1 1/2 year old son who is my life and light. He is my inspiration for doing this. Am married to a wonderful man. I am still in disbelief that my new life starts on Thursday!

I have a month to go today. Finally it's starting to get closer!

Hello lovelies! I've been around since February 2012, and finally finished hoop jumping for insurance coverage. I start my liquid diet on 8/3, have my pre-op day of meetings at the center of excellence on 8/8... and finally have surgery on 8/17.

I am 43, 5'5", and 247 lbs (as of today). I started the year at 267. My initial aim is to lose 100 lbs, but I don't really know what that will look like after more than 20 years, so I plan to adjust as I go along and see how I look and feel. This is all about health for me, not about size. I have severe sleep apnea and joint and back pain I am hoping to release.

Wishing all of us well on our journeys to improved health!

I've got 32 days to go and i think i'm becoming obsessed. I have made the decision to no tell anyone, only hubby, kids know. Last night i had a dream that a cousin of mine, that i rarely speak to, called me and needed to talk to me. She came to my house to tell me she was have the sleeve done. Mind you, she is at most 10lbs over and probably wears a size 8, never been overweight and was back in her jeans in a month after having kids. She told me she didn't want me to be jealous, so she was telling me herself. She said the Dr agreed to do it so she didn't get fat.

AArrr!!! woke up in a funk!! I know I'm doing the right thing, but i hope this kind of thing doesn't continue. Could make for a long month.
