I started this process in June of last year and I have been going to appointments, support groups, having blood drawn, sleep study etc since then. My surgery date is February 11th and now that time is winding up it is all beginning to feel so real like OMG I AM REALLY ABOUT TO HAVE THIS SURGERY. I guess since I have been at this process for the last eight months in alot of ways surgery felt like a far away dream. And now that I am gathering all my vitamins, food and making preparations as far as packing my bag I cannot believe that this upcoming weekend will be my last one pre-sleeve. I am so ready to start my new life and see what the other side has in store for me. I am so over being the tall, smart, fat girl. Has anyone else been having this epiphany type moment of "Wow, this surgery is really about to go down"??

Congrats.

My moment was when I was wheeled into the pre-op waiting area. But even then it was a little surreal. The whole time I lay there I was thinking, "What would they do if I just got up and walked out of here?"

My surgery is 2/27 and I've started getting things together. I'm feeling a difference already. It is my Year. It's Diva time in spite of having to walk not run to the finish line.

Good luck

I started this journey back in July and finally received my surgery date yesterday. I'll be sleeved March 1st! Once I hung up the phone yesterday, it really hit me. In 3 weeks I'm having surgery! As of now I'm excited, I know I'll be more nervous and anxious as time gets closer.

Good luck! My surgery is on Tuesday!

Yeah i got my date less than a month ago and I have been sooook anxious. Congrats on ur date tho:)

I as well am thinking as I sit here "OMG - are you crazy for doing this?" Worried is the understatement. Then I think about all the things I have missed out. I am looking forward to the day when I walk into a store and people don't look at you like you are lazy and stupid because you are obese. I am actually far from lazy and certainly am not stupid. We can do this! Good Luck
