Waiting waiting waiting!

[Sugar free 15]

I am new to this forum and I have to say this is an awesome resource. I have had every question answered and when I thought that there was no way I could have this surgery...I read these posts and reevaluated my choices. I am happy to say that I WILL be having the Gastric sleeve procedure. I have been following the pre-op diet and I am awaiting my psychologist appt. so no date yet. I can't wait for the new year, the new me. Knee pain GONE. Back pain GONE. Shoulder pain GONE. And a thinner me....GORGEOUS I am 52 yrs old, happily married with 5 grown kids and 7 grandkids. It's MY TIME!

Hey there! I am also 52 and waiting to finish jumping through hoops to get my date. My psych eval is on the 3rd of November and will hopefully have a date soon after that. I am hoping for December and am currently doing everything to make sure I am successful. It is definitely my turn

Welcome! I am 53 and more than likely won't be getting my surgery until sometime next summer. I've already jumped through several hoops, and now I have to wait until next month for my required 24 weeks of classes to commence. Given the holidays I probably won't finish them until sometime in May.

After that there's even more hoops and tests, but I'm hoping for no later than a July surgery. I'm trying to pass the time in between learning and preparing as much as I can.

I am knocking 50 next month! A new beginning for me as well. We will be gorgeous! Still in preop but I am getting very close. 3 appts in the 30th and I see a surgeon ????

That is awesome! Congrats on taking the first steps in this journey for YOU! It sounds like it is about time that you do this for yourself! :-) I don't think you will be disappointed with your sleeve journey.
