Hello my name is Sarah. So I'm turning 30 in a few days and I was hoping to have my surgery the same day. My thought behind that: turning 30 scares the hell out of me and I thought giving myself the gift of health was the perfect gift. Things aren't going as planned because you know, insurance. I have 2 little boys, 8 & 5, that mean the world to me and the reason for my surgery. I want to set a good example for them and be around to meet my grandchildren. Don't have a surgery date yet but I'm more than ready. Already on my pre-op diet. 4 days of no breads, milk, fruits or sugars and I feel amazing. I can only imagine how great I'll feel when I drop this extra 100.

I am now 5 days post op I have two boys ages 8 and 4 so just beware the younger one won't understand. I would recommend having help for at least the first week after surgery. I did it for my kids also so I'm excited to start this new life for them and to make the most of it. Best of luck to you!!

My husband is planning on helping out. He better I nursed him through 2 back surgeries, lol. How are you feeling?

Im not all that sore really just having dizzy spells. Doctor told me to eat more often, already feel like my whole day is based on eating.

Well that sounds like fun, lol. Glad you're doing well.

Happy birthday!!! Your with my sister.
