So my surgery date for my sleeve was 2/4 after originally thinking it wouldn't be till the end of Feb. but I got a call saying I need to be moved to 2/2. Naturally I called to share the news with my BestFriend and she asked how do you feel about that? ???? Ummmm "Great" You dont feel rushed? No!!!!! (I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself ????) It's not like they called me yesterday and said come in today. It's only a two day difference. We started trying to do this journey together and stopped. I restarted and she didn't and now I feel like she is trying to act like she is supportive but really is a little jealous and I hope that isn't the case but when somebody says....Your gonna be anorexic! It's hard to believe they are happy for you. Anyway sorry for the rant just needed to get it off my chest. Well I'll be on my way to crossing these thunder thighs in six days ????. Good luck all on your upcoming Feb surgeries!!!!

Yeah, if she's telling you you are going to be anorexic, she's a little toxic from jealousy. She's trying to reassure herself that she's better off by projecting onto you the worst outcomes. She might not be the best source of support for you post-op, you need positivity.

My surgery was right before Thanksgiving, and my surgeon could have called to reschedule me for Halloween and I wouldn't have felt rushed!

@ Luckily for me my Mom and my other half are gonna be my support. It took some convincing for my Mom but once she got all the info she has been great. I think it's mainly the fact that if we told people to pick which one of us was gonna get WLS they would pick her because I'm 5' 0" and weighed at highest 220 and she is about 5' 9" and weighs around 450-500. I tried to get her back on the bandwagon with me but people have to make their own choices. Oh well come on Monday ????. Can't wait to join you on the losers bench!!!

Just think of how great you will feel once you reach the finish line!

Did she ever say why she stopped pursuing the surgery?

We've got a seat saved for you on the loser's bench!

@@DesWill I can't wait!!!!

@ We both just stopped pursuing the first time because although we didn't want to use the same Dr. we just couldn't connect with the Drs. that we picked. But when I went back to work in Sept. my co worker had the sleeve done over the summer and she looked "Great" so I started again and the same Dr. that did her and gave the Governer of our State the lap band is gonna do me. She actually texted me this morning to say you have six more days. I'm nervous for you!!!! Are you nervous? I responded.....No I am not!!!! Of course I'm nervous I mean be for real it's surgery but I am not.....no I "Refuse" to let her make me even more nervous then I already am.

Just because I'm curious, why not use the same doctor? My dad and I did (he had a band).

@@brebbugbrielle4 - You've got the right attitude. You do you and keep it moving! Stay positive! It makes everything easier.

@ Our Drs. recommended different surgeons.

@@BLERDgirl That's just what I'm trying to do. I Love her to pieces but I have to do what I think is best for me.

I was scheduled for dec 8 but the surgeon called and asked if I would like to move up the November 26 and I said sure. Even though it was the day before thanksgiving and I had to start my 2 wk liquid pre diet the very next day after they called me, I wouldn't have changed a thing. I just wanted to get to the sleeved side and the sooner, the better! Smiles to you for your Monday surgery! Your friend will get over it.

@@katcycler I was so excited when I got that call because honestly most of us want the moved up date verses getting pushed back. Thank you!!! Monday will be here before I know it if I haven't starved by then... Lol I hope she does...????!!
