I'm pre-op and got stuck having to do the 6 month weigh-ins, which I'll complete in December and am hoping to have surgery before Christmas!

I was able to do a lot of the pre-op testing (it was a lot) fairly quicker than average because I'm a student and have the summer off. Most days I feel like December will never get here quickly, on other days, I feel the time will fly. I just can't imagine getting any bigger (which has been difficult) between now and December.

My sister just had the vertical sleeve surgery. We've always been obese together and centered our lives around food and eating out at new places. She's now down 28 lbs 3 weeks post-op and while I'm happy for her, I only wish it were my time too

So who's excited and ready for December?

It's not official yet but I am hoping for December. I spoke with our insurance liaison and she said that was doable. The sooner the better for me. I hear you. I've gained five pounds in the past month waiting for my first appointment. My eating plan starts on the 14th so I've been morning food now. Ugh!

My BF had surgery last January and is down 110. She looks fantastic but it's so hard to be not jealous. I wish it was me but I am sooo happy for her. We can do this. :-).
