surgery scheduled

I have been reading posts for a while and decided to share that my surgery has been scheduled. I will be sleeved  on Mar 20. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I am so ready to get myself healthy so I can then help my family.  I haven't been the best role model but it is time for a new chapter to start. Loving life! 

Congrats!  I am also rather new here and my surgery is scheduled for May 5.  I am so ready to start this new chapter as well.

Good for you!

WLS can be such a life changing experience, but just know it will require a lot of change from you with what you do around diet and exercise daily forever. When I hit maintenance it became as hard for me as it was pre-op.

I don't say that as a downer but just a reality. I wish surgery fixed all the bad habits, but it sure doesn't. So be prepared for a lot of work unlearning old habits and learning new ones.

But congratulations! It works if you work it!

You might want to check out the sleeve forum here.

I just finally got my surgery date today for the sleeve, too.  I'm at March 11, so we will be at virtually the same place.  Not sure how to find the sleeve forum.  I'm new here and not quite sure how to find my way around.  

I found out yesterday that my sleeve surgery is also on March 11th:)

Woo!  I'm also in March.  Super exciting!
