I am officially approved for my October 13th sleeve!! I am so excited! I'm most nervous about the 2 week pre-op liquid diet. I'm also nervous about the recovery because my son will only be 10.5 months old so I won't be allowed to lift him. But I just keep telling myself that it will all be worth it! I can't wait for a healthier me and all that will come with that. Any other October sleevers?

Congratulations!! I can't wait until I get my surgery date. I might be in Oct too, though I am hoping for sometime in Sept.

Do you have someone to help with your son? How long before you can lift him? I am sure 6 months from now it will be totally worth it!

Not a sleever, but so happy for you! You're life is going to change right before your eyes

My mom and husband will be there to help with my son. I'm not allowed to lift over 10 lb for the first 2 weeks and nothing over 20 lbs until after 4 weeks. My son is already the size of am average 2 year old (big boy of 24 lbs and 29 inches tall) so I won't be able to lift him for probably 5 weeks. But hopefully once the incisions are healed I will still be able to cuddle as long as someone lifts him for me. That's what I'll miss the most. But it will be so worth it!
