smiller1982 26 Posted August 26, 2012 Hello my name is Sarah. So I'm turning 30 in a few days and I was hoping to have my surgery the same day. My thought behind that: turning 30 scares the hell out of me and I thought giving myself the gift of health was the perfect gift. Things aren't going as planned because you know, insurance. I have 2 little boys, 8 & 5, that mean the world to me and the reason for my surgery. I want to set a good example for them and be around to meet my grandchildren. Don't have a surgery date yet but I'm more than ready. Already on my pre-op diet. 4 days of no breads, milk, fruits or sugars and I feel amazing. I can only imagine how great I'll feel when I drop this extra 100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavinsmom47 1 Posted August 27, 2012 I am now 5 days post op I have two boys ages 8 and 4 so just beware the younger one won't understand. I would recommend having help for at least the first week after surgery. I did it for my kids also so I'm excited to start this new life for them and to make the most of it. Best of luck to you!!
