My surgery is scheduled for June 17 as well! I'm having mine done at Brook Army Medical Center in San Antonio. How about you?

My doctor first recommended bariatric surgery about two years ago. I attended my first information session in August 2013. As I am using a military facility (my husband is a retired Marine), I did not have to go through the insurance approval process. I was required to attend nutrition sessions, psych eval, support groups, etc. So I've been busy!

I'm 44 and wish I'd done this sooner. How about you?

I'm 25 and have two kids... I've spent all of my adult life caring for them and going to school. It's finally time that I worry about my health! I've been going through the process since January... My mother had the lap band a few years ago and that's what I originally wanted until I learned more about the sleeve.

My date is going to be that week. I'm having my surgery in Birmingham, AL. I'm 43 and wish I had done this years ago. It has seemed "unreal" until now. I may go into full panic mode when I get the exact date!

I am also on the 18th of June and I am excited beyond words. I am also extremely impatient by nature so the waiting is killing me. I am also in San Antonio.

I am scheduled for June 17th too!! I am so excited but also very nervous. I just found this forum and starting to look around and read to stay on top of my fears that I know will be growing as the date gets closer!

I ordered a nice robe for the hospital. When it arrived, I tried it on and looked in the mirror and it hit me that this surgery is really going to happen! Excited and nervous, which I think is normal at this point. Really dreading the two week pre-op liquid diet but am committed to it 100%.

I know the feeling. I went and bought a new robe and stretchy pant pjs as well. I had to buy a 3x to compensate for bloating. I told myself this is the last time I will buy this size of clothing. I always have anxiety but its really making me super restless. What are any of you doing to help the time pass by? Are any of you starting to look at magazines or clothing differently?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
