Looks like there are quite a few Novembers! My boss just had hers done on October 1st and is doing well. Can't wait for mine!

Terri - I'm thinking about all the things "next year I'm gonna"! I should start a list!

It's terrifying, but exciting at the same time.

Congrats on your daughter's wedding! Best wishes for much success and weight loss between now and then.

Thanks McButterpants! I have a lot of things that I want to do too! I don't feel that the weight has held me back too much but I know my confidence will grow and I just really want to feel healthy and not so sluggish all the time. Finally broke the news to my parents the real reason I'm going to Mexico and was very surprised and relieved that they were somewhat supportive and didn't freak out. Considering it is a bariatric hospital and they specialize in these surgeries I feel like I'm in good hands. Don't even think I can get it done in Canada and if I could it would be expensive and with a BMI of 37 they aren't going to look at me. I have the apple shape and my mother is diabetic and I don't want to go down that path. I have just started showing signs of fatty liver disease and the only thing that is going to help that is losing the weight. My docotr here is supportive of it which helps convince my parents. At 41 I shouldn't be concerned with what they think but just got out of a long term marriage (21 year union) and they are my support.

I'm on my 3rd day of pre-op liquid diet, much harder than u thought, due to being a diabetic/hypoglycemic

Today I had my 3 hours nutrition class, very informative.

My BMI was 37 as well, and there is a three year weight list for people with higher BMI! (Varies from province to province). My doc says the Canadian medical assoc just came out with the position that WLS should be offered to individuals before they develop the co-morbidities that go along with obesity, if there is a history of weight gain, loss regain etc. I feel the same as you, I don't want to go down that path....good luck. My surgery is Monday, November 18.

Had my sleeve on the 11th. Feeling great! Unfortunately I find myself looking to "reward" myself with some sort of treat.
