January 20, 2016 is my surgery date! I'm nervous, excited, and relieved all at once. With the holidays approaching and some Last Suppering, I KNOW I'm going to eat more than I should, so I plan to counter the extra calories with more exercise time. The timing feels so good to me. My new beginning will be at the new year. My heaviest weight ever was 256 lbs. In my adult life my lowest was 125, back in my early 20's. I'm 48 now and I just want to be healthier. I quit smoking in October to be able to have this surgery. I take cholesterol and blood pressure meds that I'd like to be able to rid myself of. I no longer drink sodas or use artificial sweeteners. I'm trying very hard to incorporate more fresh foods into my diet and less processed ones. My overall goal is health, but I admit I can't wait to see the numbers on the scale get smaller as well as my clothes size. ????

Cheers to us all for a happy and healthy New Year! ????????

What a great investment in yourself. Congratulations. Life is so much better healthy. Just saying.

BeeHealthy2016 - If you're at all interested, a group of us started a closed Facebook group for those having sleeve surgery in January. There's only a handful of us right now, but if you'd like to be added, feel free to send me your email in a message and I can send you an invite. Yay for a date!!!

My first thought was "Will there be flowers involved?" HAHA!

Congrats! Just around the corner!

Congrats!!! It will be here before you know it!!

I am scheduled for January 13th and would love to join the closed Facebook group. How do I do it? Thanks

I got the call last Monday! January 6th is MY day!!! Lol it's so crazy how none of this felt real until I got that date. Maybe a part of it still doesn't but I'm sure it will pass. Right?

"Dmmjtj" mine is also on Jan 13! How are you feeling about it ?

I just got my date today too! I go in on January 8. Good luck fellow sleevers!

I'm having a conversion from band to sleeve. Band was a disaster so feeling hopeful the sleeve works for me. Where do you live?

That's great best of luck to you. I live in Lebanon, Middle East. And you?

And after you lose the weight, you will have ... LOTS MORE DATES
