That's wonderful . Congratulations !!

My surgery date is December 10th also. I have to do a 3-week pre-op diet which I'm not looking forward to.

Dec. 30 930 am university of penn!! Finally

Surgery date of December 3rd! Excited, terrified, relieved, nervous, happy, scared, thrilled, freaked out..... ahhhhh! I've never had anything more serious than a sprained ankle so far. Several risk factors are on the high end though. It would really just be a matter of time until some of the health issues surface if I stayed on this track.

Hi. I'm Michelle. I'm 42 years old, 5"6 and was at 271 lbs. when I started this journey in April. I'm now at 247 lbs. (trying to establish some good habits now before surgery). I'm looking forward to chatting with everyone. My family is in another state and I don't want too many to know about this procedure. I'm going to need the support here. I travel a lot for work so going to group meetings won't be likely.

Nice to meet you all!

Everyone else seems to be getting a head start in weight loss before surgery except me. I lost 13 lbs since starting the process but gained it back.

Damn ...

I'm Dec 10th, too. Just had my one year checkup on my knee replacement, and surgeon is VERY glad I am getting the sleeve. That will help my dear husband feel a little better suspect..,he is a tad scared, kinda squeamish by nature

I am scheduled for December 10th too!!! Super nervous, but excited too.

December 10th here as well.

Just got done with the 4 hours PATS

I'm good to go
