PenguinLovex8 3 Posted October 28, 2014 Hey everyone! New here I am getting ready to go to my pre-op class for gastric bypass surgery! I have a surgery date of November 17th, and I am super excited, but also a little nervous.. Does anyone else on here have a November surgery date? Maybe we could help each other prepare for what lies ahead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewJeffrey 84 Posted October 28, 2014 Hi!! I'm watching the weather forecast and I see my surgery date (November 4th) on the 7 day forecast!! I am psyched!! I am ready to start the next phase of this journey. More importantly, I have some fears and concerns, but my dreams of what I'll be able to do physically (Ride amusement park rides with children, fly comfortably, travel, exercise, run 5k's and 10k's for diabetes, breast cancer, etc..) The fears grow smaller and the excitement, joy, and hope grow bigger!! Let's do this together with more if our November buddies!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
staceylc 3 Posted October 29, 2014 Hey! I'm new here as well! My surgery date is November 11th. I'm nervous and excited since November is inching closer and closer. So glad to see there are others who are having surgery in the same month Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PenguinLovex8 3 Posted October 29, 2014 I'm so glad to hear that there are others going through this at the same time. I'm sure our fears will go away soon after the surgery when the weight starts to fall off! Keep me posted about your future success please! I'd love to hear about it!
