Just joined. My surgery is 10/29/13. Nervous and excited at the same time!

Hi All,

Excited I came across this group. This is super awesome. I live in Frisco Texas with my husband of 14 yrs this upcoming October 28th and our baby girl Gidget, a 7lb Pom Pom, lol. She is 8. Our 5 year wedding Anniversary is on Oct 28th as well. I'm slated to have my surgery the day after our anniversary. I promise I never planned it that way.

I can't wait to hear the journey of others and share experiences, thoughts, and tips. I've watched all the you tube videos of the surgery and have seen a lot of before and after slide shows. I doubt I will start a video blog, but seems like a good idea.

I'm currently 330 lbs. This is the most I have ever weighed in my entire life. I've struggled with every weight loss program over the years. Only to gain back what I lost and then some. I'm tired of being tired. And can't wait to obtain a fresh and healthy start.

Any others having surgery this month? Again, glad I found this group and wish everyone a safe and healthy Weightloss journey.

Thanks,

Bobby

Hey Bobby! Congratulations on the decision to have surgery. My highest weight was 330 and on my surgery day I was at 305. Keep us posted on your progress and get ready for the ride of your life! :D

Thank you and I'm ready for the ride! Will send updates along the way.

Good luck. My highest weight was 360 and on the 10th of October will be my 3 month and I am at 250. Lost 54 before the sleeve and 56 since the sleeve. Best choice I ever made.

Keep us posted on your progress while on your pre op diet.
