It is now official...just booked the airline tickets...

I am a 3/13/13 sleever.

Yes' date=' moved up 1 day, mainly because flights were half price flying on the 12th and 16th.... I will tell you, that I honestly thought hitting the purchase airline tickets now button would be very exciting for me....I am sick to my stomach, WOW, NOW I am nervous!!

Well 3/13/13 sisters, I cannot wait to meet you!![/quote']

I totally agree. I sat down yesterday and was gonna get me tickets and got a anxious sick feeling and has to put it off. I'm gonna do it. Especially before they raise prices. It's so scary and will probably be relieved once I hit button. I hope..... It makes it so official. Huh??

I sat on that website ALL DAY trying to hit the purchase button, I have no idea what is wrong with me. Today, I am happy, but in disbelief that it is actually official now.

I think a lot of us did the same thing, you're not alone in this. So when are you arriving? The 12th? I'll be there in the morning...hope to see you!

Curious, how many days are you taking off work? I was planning on going back on Tuesday...do you think that is too soon? I have a desk job so I was thinking it wouldn't be too bad.

I am arriving on the 12th at 9:45 am via Frontier Airlines. As far as work, it is kinda an odd situation, my mom and I own a furniture & clothing consignment store, so my schedule is kind of flexible. I am hoping to be back at work on Monday the 18th, but I will just be sitting, I have more than enough "paper style work" to take care of........... The only problem is, it is a furniture store and people have no regard sometimes, so my mom is making me wear a sign that says " I cannot lift anything, so dont ask me, I just had surgery!" HAHA

We will see how it goes : )

Are you a late departure on Saturday? My flight leaves at 6:55pm, and yes, I hope we can stay in our hotel room since technically we have it until the next day anyway.

As far as preop diets, my sheet says 7-14 days, what is everyone doing? 7, 10, 14? What determines how early you should start?

I'm just finishing up day 8 of 21 days... I have high BMI and I need to get it down under 49 before surgery date so I can avoid paying an extra thousand dollars. So I'm doing 21 days of the Protein drinks plus a lean and green meal then on Sunday prior to surgery they want me to take a laxative or two and be on clears until my surgery on Wednesday

I arrive at 10:20am from Orlando on Alaska Airlines on 3/12 and leave at 10:05pm 3/16. I just found out from alma that I can stay and rest in my room as long as I can before needed to be taken to the airport since i'm paying for the night anyway but goofed and booked the flight a day early.

I really need to figure out my work schedule and see if I'l be approved to use my ELB time off. I've got much to work on still...and the $$$ needs to be set up so i can just bring a cashiers check. I pray I dont have much scar tissue when they remove the lapband and have to pay even more than the additional $500. Boo...

How do you respond to people when they show concerns about you going out of the country? I have only told a few of my family members as of right now. But I will have to tell more people soon.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
