Well today I got the call! My insurance approved me and I set my date! November 16 is my date. I literally cried on the phone when she told me. It has been a very long year but it's been worth it. I'm nervous and excited and stressed all at the same time. So ALL words of wisdom/advice/helpful tips are welcomed! Also are there any November people out there? I'd love to talk together through this up coming 40 days! Also anyone have any tips for thanksgiving???? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What a great post! Thank you for asking bc I've had these questions for awhile now! I hope all goes well for you! And I'll definitely post back after my surgery when I smoke again Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Omg!!!!! I'm 24 I'm 5'2 and 235lbs and I'm having the sleeve done on November 16th!!!!!!! I'm in the exact same boat! I'm ready to get my life under control and finally be healthy and happy in my own body! I'm excited to do it know at the age of 24 because too many people in my family are obese and in failing health and I refuse to go the same way! I'm young and ready to take life by the rains and live my life with less joint pain and all the health problems I have now already at this young age Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I tell everyone and anyone. I'm so excited for this new journey. I don't care if someone tells me it's not a good idea or that I'm not "fat enough" I am doing this for me and my life but I'm bursting at the seams for everyone to know I'm happy with my decision. I'm hoping to have my date set for the end of October beginning of November. My mom wants me to wait till my classes are done in December but I don't know if I can wait that long Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey, I'm new to this site and i just came across your post. My surgery isnt for another three months but I'm starting to get nervous. How are you dealing with it? Has the two week pre-sugery been difficult?
