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"??

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' date=' 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.[/quote']

I've been feeling like this lately too! This weekend is my last pre-op weekend too and I spent the day cleaning the house & my car. And I've got all of my vitamins, shakes, meds, etc here at home. I've literally turned this place into a little post-op fortress so I can stay home and recouperate in peace. And I can't believe no one has called to cancel or change the date yet. I'm expecting something to happen that will pull the plug on it all...But right now, it just seems surreal to have gotten this far and it's just a matter of days before I'm on the loser's bench
