July Surgery

[cirvin21 18]

I'm scheduled for July 24. Still seems to far away. Started my trek in February. Started pre-op diet March 14 and as of July 4, I was down 42 lbs already. Can't wait to begin losing after the surgery and get to a healthier weight. So many things feel better already, I can walk up stairs without getting overly winded. I can sit on the floor and get up without problem. I can work in my yard without having to take breaks. I also have already had to buy some new pants, as my old ones wouldn't stay up! These little things are keeping me motivated through the waiting process. Good luck to all with their surgery!

Wow! Those are some great victories! Congrats on your weight loss so far. My date is July 22nd, and sometimes I feel like it's gonna take forever, but honestly time is moving pretty steadily for me. I think I'm more worried about the flight restrictions than I am the actual surgery (I'm getting sleeved in Mexico). I looked up the seat width online. I've been measuring my butt and also measuring random chairs at home and work and testing them out for three days now.

Lol candypants youre a hoot. Last flight I took I noticed that when I wore denim shorts I fit better than when I wore a dress. So wear Spanx on the way to Mexico lol

but on the way home you wont want tight pants

I am being sleeved the same day July 24th. Just had my preop today, found out I have no preop diet, surgeon just said " don't gain weight" so I am still a little excited but worried about that. I can't wait to get this done! Good luck all my July buddies!!

@@PRINCESSM I'll be sitting next to my husband and he's graciously agreed to take the middle seat so I'm in the aisle for one leg of my trip and against the window for all the rest. I'm now worried that we won't make our connections. On the way there, we change planes in Phoenix and we only have an hour. Coming back, the connection is less than an hour in Dallas. My nerves about the flight are driving me crazy. Why didn't I just book nonstop flights?? Ugh...too late now.
