I am turning 45 on Thursday (where does the time go?!) and I'm getting sleeved on Nov. 4...so nervous and I want to chicken out, but I also want the next 45 years to be better than ever.

what a great birthday present for yourself!

Happy Birthday and NOOOOO don't chicken out! YOU WILL FOREVER remember being 45 because that year in your life will be GREAT!!!!!! I'm 52 and loving life after so many years of being heavy, not feeling good and not looking good either. I love love love my sleeve WLS and am happy and feel amazingly great!! Stay positive and before you know it, you'll be thin, and HEALTHY!! Here's to many many many more years! Salud!

Happy (early) Birthday!!! Hang in there! You didn't travel this far just to chicken out.

I'm turning 59 later this week and received a call this morning telling me my surgery date was moving up to 11/10 (from 12/8) if I wanted that date. I said YES!!! So ready to get this behind me so I can get past the post-op process. Have to start my 2 week (minus 1 day ) pre-op diet today so there won't be any going out to supper on my birthday , but we'll Celebrate another time.
