I just got my date, April 24th! Nervous and excited, it’s starting to feel real now!

Hey there! Want to buddy up? No pressure if ya don't want to just ignore this this message. ?.

I'm April 22! Just got my date too! I so excited! I'm a touch nervous mostly about doing everything right not so much the surgery. I had a bad csection so I'm no sweating the surgery!

I am a 46 year old mom of 1 -7 yo old boy and I weight 227 now looking to drop 103 lbs.

Goal weight 124 lbs.

CajunSam you’re not an April Lone Ranger lol. I’m due to have my operation on the 22nd of April but it could change to the 4th if the results for my Endoscopy comes back quick enough.

Surgery date - 22nd maybe 4th April
Kind of surgery - Gastric Bypass
Starting weight - 280lbs
Goal weight - 150lbs

It’s being a 2yrs process and now that I’m close to the finish line the nerves are definitely setting in.

Good luck with your op.

My open gastric bypass is scheduled for April 8. I am 5'7 and weigh 352. My goal is around 200 but I would like to be closer to about 160!

And i, for one, will be cheering you on, our starting weight was pretty close and if an old Chickadee like me at 73 can do it, you should be a "shoe-in" . Oh it will take some work on your part, but the surgery gives you a strong Tool to use, and you will have the Victory you could not get before. Oh I was a veteran of some real kooky diets, some I think were designed by a doctor and a dart board, but honey I am doing it and doing well. And I actually have something to brag about, one of the best things? When I go shopping I no long have to settle for the largest size they have, the really ugly ones. And I don't have to resort to wearing mens sweats because I can't find any in Ladies to fit me. All these bring me joy and they will you also! ???

My date is April 2nd. I’m on the Optifast diet 7 days in. It’s been pretty smooth so far. Today I wanted to eat the arm off my husband.

I’m getting the bypass.

I’m very excited...

And I wish you all the best!

Looks like we are mostly shooting for a 100 lb or so weight loss. I think it's definitely obtainable! I actually have about 110 to get to my goal weight of 175 and Ive thought about 165, as well. So Max 120 lbs.

I am just really excited to get this done. 39 days until I leave for my surgery but who is counting? LOL

Me as mine is April 3. Last Wednesday got a call they had unexpected opening so had to start pre OP diet at that moment.

Mine is April 4! I'm so nervous!

I am scheduled for April 2 for Duodeum Switch surgery. Height 5’1current weight 230
