My surgery is three weeks away, it took this month forever to get here. Originally I was scheduled for 8/23, but had to move it because of school. I am ready....ready to walk up stairs and not be winded, ready to not be in pain after work, ready to show my son what I've got on the bball court. My aunt passed away when I was 13, leaving behind her 3 children. She was 33, I don't know what she died from exactly, but I'm sure her weight was a contributing factor. I am now 27 and I have always feared that could be me. When the scale hit 400lbs I started researching, after several failed diets of course. 9/27/12 is my day, I'm ready to be a size healthy!

Good for you! I am so excited myself. My surgeon consult is October 2, but I'm self pay so should move quickly after. They are scheduling a bunch of other appts the same day so I'm so I can hardly wait to get this started!

A size healthy, that's a great phrase. I'm excited for you, these three weeks will zip by!

Just one week has gone by pretty quickly. I went to the surgery center for pretesting Friday, I lost 6lbs last week....wooohooo!
