Hey everyone! New here

I am getting ready to go to my pre-op class for gastric bypass surgery! I have a surgery date of November 17th, and I am super excited, but also a little nervous..

Does anyone else on here have a November surgery date?

Maybe we could help each other prepare for what lies ahead

Hi!! I'm watching the weather forecast and I see my surgery date (November 4th) on the 7 day forecast!! I am psyched!! I am ready to start the next phase of this journey. More importantly, I have some fears and concerns, but my dreams of what I'll be able to do physically (Ride amusement park rides with children, fly comfortably, travel, exercise, run 5k's and 10k's for diabetes, breast cancer, etc..) The fears grow smaller and the excitement, joy, and hope grow bigger!! Let's do this together with more if our November buddies!!!!

Hey! I'm new here as well! My surgery date is November 11th. I'm nervous and excited since November is inching closer and closer. So glad to see there are others who are having surgery in the same month

I'm so glad to hear that there are others going through this at the same time. I'm sure our fears will go away soon after the surgery when the weight starts to fall off! Keep me posted about your future success please! I'd love to hear about it!

I have been approved just waiting on my date. It will be in November!

That's awesome!

I'm also for Nov 17th and I can't hardly wait! I can't believe it's finally happening.

That's great! It is very exciting. I haven't really been nervous yet, I'm hoping it won't all hit me right before they put me to sleep. Lol.

My surgery day is November 20th! I will be starting my pre-op diet November 6th. I'm starting to feel a little bit nervous and a whole lot of excitement!

Hey, my surgery is Nov 11th also. On day 2 of pre-op diet and it's tough. Feeling very irritable but excited to have the surgery.

I'm November 18th!

My surgery date is November 11th. It is great to see some others with the same date.

November 4th..........Finally getting close. The waiting is so hard. Bring it on.
