This is bad--I was seriously just sitting here looking over my school calendar to try to see if I could move my surgery date up by a month. I have been told that some college students do it over a long weekend and I do have one in February, for Presidents Day. To make it happen, though, I would need to leave on Valentine's Day (I'm guessing my bf wouldn't exactly be pleased) and I would miss at least 2 days of school (the Friday before and the Tuesday after). Technically, along this same line of thinking, I could even potentially move it up by 2 months (long weekend in January for MLK Day), but still have the same school issues. The whole point of choosing Spring Break (my actual, sane plan) is that I will have almost a week to recover at home without having to go to school. So this is crazy, right? I know it is, but going 1-2 months sooner--anything to shorten this wait--is so attractive. Patience, sadly, is not one of my virtues :(

If I could move it up, I totally would. But i haven't gotten the surgery yet, so I'd wait for one of them to chime in about recovery time.

Afa your boyfriend? Does he love you? Does he want you to be happy? Does he want you to be healthy? Then he should deal. :P

Hello, when is your birthday? I, too, have to wait through Thanksgiving, my birthday, and Christmas. My birthday is December 7

I know you weren't asking me directly, but my b-day is Feb. 12, so that's another reason I wanted to move surgery up to Feb. 15 (or Jan. 18)--would be the best birthday present ever. Even going in March, I'm considering it a belated birthday/Christmas present to myself (because Lord knows I can't afford to buy anything else for myself until then).

I think that Valentine's Day is probably a bigger deal to me than to him--in general, not if I had to choose between celebrating something we could do any day and having the surgery, though--but I could see him giving me a hard time about it (hopefully jokingly). I honestly think he would be more concerned with me missing school and not having enough recovery time, which of course, is also my main concern.

. I have been told that some college students do it over a long weekend and I do have one in February, for Presidents Day. To make it happen, though, I would need to leave on Valentine's Day (I'm guessing my bf wouldn't exactly be pleased) and I would miss at least 2 days of school (the Friday before and the Tuesday after).

Here are my 2 cents (I have about a good 20-25, but I think 2 is enough ;) )

You can always catch the first flight into San Diego and have surgery the same day. So if you have the surgery on Valentines Day, then you will be able to fly back on President's day. Is there someone that can drive you to school or help you around? That way you don't have to miss school on Tuesday even though you will probably not be able to concentrate much. I plan on returning to work for 1/2 days that entire week after I get back and then trying my normal days the 2nd week.

Now, what I would try to do with the boyfriend is tell him that for Valentines Day, you would like for him to give you a gift of presence and support. Its free! (minus the cost of the flight..lol)

The whole point of choosing Spring Break (my actual, sane plan) is that I will have almost a week to recover at home without having to go to school. So this is crazy, right? I know it is, but going 1-2 months sooner--anything to shorten this wait--is so attractive. Patience, sadly, is not one of my virtues :(

I would wait if I had to. Actually, I was scheduled for last January and due to changes in my insurance, couldn't have surgery until this year coming up. It is a hard wait.

Yeah, as much as it pains me to be patient, I'm going to wait until March, as planned. Probably the biggest problem with getting it done sooner and either missing Tuesday or totally being out of it is that I'm a teaching assistant and Tuesday is the day that I will have to teach 3 classes back-to-back (which can be challenging even on a normal day). I'm trying to look on the bright side: I have been taking the extra time to take advantage of sales on things that I will need pre- and post-op that I can stock up on, such as Gatorade, Soup, Jello, etc. Slowly preparing helps me to feel like it's not so far away.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
