Yea I planned to have the surgery after Disney.. just incase I wasn't feeling 100% after. How long have you been considering wls?

Love it. I'm going to WDW next week. And then again next August for Hubbies 50th.

I'm hoping for a December surgery. All I have left is my meeting with the Gastro and then my Endoscopy and the insurance. My meeting with Gastro is the day I get back from Disney 10/18.

You all keep your fingers crossed for me that I get my Endoscopy scheduled quickly as I think there is a two month out waiting list for surgeries at this point.

I'm a December RNY too! I just have to shed 10 lbs. All my appointments are done except the 2nd half of the psych eval and meeting with the surgeon. My appointment for that is in November. How is everyone doing with pre-op weight loss? That's the hardest part for me. I "only" have to lose 14lbs. 2.5 months in and I'm only down 3 :/

[Sara 401 8]

Im not gaining but not losing either. My band is empty and trying to maintain till surgery.

Me either really. I have been the same weight the entire process and last month I lost 7lbs! I couldn't believe it! Hope it stays off on my next appointment on the 25th!!

I am nervous I guess. I know my mind hasnt really accepted that this is happening. I agree...I eat things but then im like well...if I cant have them later I shouldn't now. Certainly something I struggle with. And the closer December gets. The more stressed I get!

Guess this as good as any thread to introduce myself. I am a 27 year old happily married man. I have 2 beautiful daughters, 6 and 1. I am the GM at a large motorcycle dealership (300+ units on the floor).

My surgery date is for December 30th at 5:15am, hence I chose this thread to post in first.

I have always been the "big guy!" I am 6'4 and I weigh 404. It has not been until the last year or so that it has been hindering. I'm ready to fit in pant size that I can't even remember fitting in. When I was in 8th grade I was a 38. I would love to see 36, but most of all I would love to see my grandchildren, when they are born.

That is awesome! Welcome to the group!! Mine will be around the 18th. My husband however is abiut your weight and he will also be havibg surgery probably in the spring as we have a 1 year old and that would be rough! I have the sane hope. ..to watch my kids grow up and neet my grandkids( a long long time from now!) We have a littke girl as well. Hopefully one more baby but wabt to be healthly first! Do you have anything your really scared or nervous about ?

[Infinity1383840061 3]

Not really. The surgeon that I have selected has been doing this for over 10 years. I'm pretty confident in his and his staffs abilities. They all seem to have a pretty great grasp on it. I have never been one to worry about surgery.

I'm anxious. However I have a cruise scheduled for Thanksgiving, so that will sort of be my "last hoora(sp)!"

I gave up all soda and sugary drinks on 10/01, I started having a shake for Breakfast and no snacking until lunch on 10/07. I have started walking with my wife. I'm just trying to change behaviors one at a time.

Is there anything I should be scared about? B-)

Probably not! Maybe its a woman thing! I am just nervous! But very excited. A cruise before surgery sounds awesome! I have also kicked soda for the oast few months. Well regular soda. Im now loving diet mountain dew which I need to kick as well! You will love thus support group its been great and ive learned so much!
