Gastric Bypass at end of Feb. Anyone else?

Hi I'm Kim and I'm having my surgery in Oxford UK at the end of Feb at The Manor. I'm 30 and I've been so depressed and in a cycle of weight loss and gain- I'm really excited to be finally setting the date!

Is anyone else having surgery end of Feb, aged around 30 or from UK? Would be great to find some friends to discuss the coming weeks and months having decided to proceed with a bypass.

Let's do this! Time for Kim 2.0!

Xx

Hi! I'm not from UK but I am 31 and my surgery is Feb 19! I'm having gastric bypass. I'm from Connecticut. I know how you feel! I get really depressed sometimes from my weight. I'm so excited to start this journey! Or rather finish this journey since all the pre op requirements took some time to complete!

I'm in the states and my surgery is Feb 25. I go for all my tests on. Feb 9, nutrition class on the 12th and then 2 week liver shrinking diet.

I'm 36, I have a son who is 11 and I'm a single mom.

We are close in dates! I have two children 11 and 8... They are a motivator but also they make me worried. I am so afraid of the surgery it self! I've never been under anesthesia before but I just remind myself that this is a good choice and I will be healthier because of it... But it's scary.

Hi, Finally someone from Connecticut like I am. I had my surgery on Jan 23rd. It was a long waiting process. How are things for you coming along for you?
