September 9th for me too! In Tijuana MX. . I am very excited but I will admit that I do have moments of "can I really do this?". But the answer is YES! Yes I do love food but so does everyone else here or we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place. So I tell myself "self, if they can do it, so can you!!"

Who is doing your surgery? I am getting sleeved by dr. Ponce de leon in Tijuana...I am hoping what everyone says is totally true and that you start to crave the healthy choices, it's a drastic change in food choices but ya gotta do what ya gotta do!

Thanks! I'm so excited I want to shout it from the rooftops, but then I remember I haven't told anyone other than hubs and BFF... So I'm really glad to be a part of this forum where I can share my excitement!

[Eileenpro 4]

My date is Sept 16th. I'm excited and nervous

[littlebitsy 72]

My official date is September 10. I could have had it done in August but with my August being so crazy hectic September just worked better.I'm not scared of the surgery itself I'm more scared of failure. I'm scared that I'll have 85% of my stomach removed only to become obese again.

September 9th is my final weigh in and when my bariatric doctor can send my paperwork off for approval. I plan to start the two week liquid diet the week before my weigh in so that they can schedule as soon as I'm approved. The Approval time for my insurance is less than a week. I will keep doing the liquid diet until the surgery. They said that they would schedule it as quickly as possible which should be the end of September. I don't have the exact date yet. I'm so freakin excited (WHOO HOO) <== that's me being excited.
