My surgery date is September 30th in Ypsilanti, MI.

who else is in september? what are your thoughts? are you excited??!!! Nervous?

September 11th I will be sleeved! Nervous about not knowing what to expect and excited to get it done!

I have two kids.....wishing I could do more with them. I've struggled with my weight my entire life. I use to tell myself' date=' "I'm chunky but healthy!" "I'm not going to be one of those people that counts calories and eats like a bird. I'm gonna eat what I want, when I want!" But what I didn't see was that I was not living. I was not enjoying life and all it offers.....especially being more active with my kids. My BMI is not as high as others.....it's 37.5. And I had a few people say, "you're not fat! You don't need surgery!" But when you've tried everything and its been a daily struggle ever since you can remember and it interferes with your life as a mother........you do need it! You need it for YOU! For your kids! To live longer, live healthier! I'm very happy to say that I began this journey 2 months ago and just this past week, I was approved for surgery! It still feels surreal. I'm scheduled for September 20th. I'm blessed to have supportive people in my life. Very happy I found this forum.[/quote']

Judy you are telling my story! Congrats on your decision and surgery date.

I found this web link on here:

http://www.nashuanutrition.com/store/protein-powders/protein-powder-samples-1-serving.html

You can order Protein powder samples for 1.95 each. They have TONS to choose from!

Thanks SLF1027. I will definitely check it out!

I finally decided on Sept. 4th as my surgery date. They offered me 8/19 but I also had too much going on in late August that I pushd it back. I'm excited but very nervous:)

This is sinking in, being a up and down roller coaster with weight. I am now feeling like this is a second chance. I have read all the comments and feel support. Anyone in Washington state, Dr Houseworth in Federal Way?

I am September 19th. Come on September.

Im planning the last week of September either the 22 or 23 or the first week of October

Hi Sept. Friends. I just received a call and I once again have been moved up. I am now a Aug. 2nd Pre-oper.
