I’m scheduled for my surgery November 7th, and it’s starting to feel real. I’m having a lap band to bypass revision and only taking one week off from work (nine days counting the weekend). A little worried about just a week.

Anyone else in November?

Yay! I can't wait. I keep looking at the calendar to see how close it's getting. Just want to start losing for real.

November 16th for me!!!

Anyone in November 2018 that is having the bypass ... would you like to join a Facebook group and support each other? Or just do it through here?

Since my surgery date is November 1st, I'll be the test subject for this thread. hahaha.

I started the pre-op early. Today is my start. Starving. But I gotta just deal!

I didn't realize this group was also on FB as well! I feel like there is this whole new underworld of bariatric members and support groups that I had no idea existed. It makes me wonder if I had found groups like this earlier, would I have decided to go for it earlier as well!

Definitely excited to stay connected and share this journey with all of you :)

We should do a Facebook group. You can make it private so only the approved members can view. This way if your not sharing your surgery with friends co-workers or extended family you can still get support from us!!

That sounds like a great idea! Anyone know how to do it?

November 13th for me!

I think FB group for November bypassers would be great!

Same for me.

As for FB, I'd prefer to stay here and a little more private. I just don't trust FB privacy and for now this is a big secret that only a few key people know about.

So my fellow Novemberians...to use someone else’s phrase ?
Do you ever have a day when your just feeling “fat”?
The I don’t even feel comfortable in my skin type of day? Like a stuffed sausage feeling? Maybe I am bloated and maybe it’s just side affect of my flu shot or stress I don’t know. Today I seriously feel stuffed into this casing that is my skin. Putting on clothes today only made it worse I just wanted my baggy nightgown back and to pull the covers over my head to hide the rest of the day.
This is not my usual MO. I’m usually pretty comfortable in my own skin but lately...not so much. Maybe anxiety or anticipation for up coming surgery.
I almost can’t wait to get back on liquid diet and prep for it!
