I am also scheduled for the 14th and live in MI

November 9th and I'm kind of freaking out!!!

I am also in the Saginaw area! I will be having my surgery at Covenant in November.

Thanks for the positive words! I know everyone will benefit from me being healthier, but it's hard to put yourself first when your mom. I think it's time to start though

I have bean lurking here for a while. I am waiting on my insurance for approval at this point. My surgery will be in mid November or early December. My kids will be 4.5 and 1 year. My youngest is pretty attached to me and we still nurse. I am nervous about the recovery and taking care of the kids afterwards. I am also concerned I won't be able to dedicate the time required to take care of myself to help me succeed. Am I crazy for thinking I can do this at this time? Has anyone bean in the same situation and can offer advice?

I hope so! I just don't want another summer to pass with me not wanting to take my boys to the beach or amusement parks because of my weight.

My husband will be home with me for the 1st week. Then my mom and sister will be around to help out. The ability to be more active with my kids is a big reason for me having the surgery, but at the same time they need me now. I guess when you have little kids there is no perfect time.

Mine will take place late November or early December! I am also in Michigan. I just had my upper gi today and that was an interesting experience!
