Hello everyone!

I haven't posted on this board for a while now, but now that I have my surgery date I figured I'd try and become more active with my age group!

Surgery will be December 14th, 2010!  11 days before Christmas!  I've gotten comments from people saying "oh, too bad it's right before Christmas, you'll miss out on all the goodies!"  Isn't that the point of having the surgery?  I over-enduldged last Christmas hoping it would be the last one I could eat whatever I wanted.  Anyways, enjoying the goodies has gotten me to the point of needing the surgery, so I'm not sad at all.

I'm very excited to get my sleeve and work my tool to have a healthy life.
Anyone else having surgery in December?

welcome to the group!! 
 first off i understand you completely, my surgery is nov 21st which is the monday before thanksgiving. Everyones first question is why didnt u wait till after so you could eat... ummmm because as much as i wanna eat all my ouerto rican yummy foods my grandma is making it got me looking fat ! i always over eat on holidays and its time to change. I cant wait !! good luck on your surgery, ask anything you want to know, we are all very helpfull.

God grant me with the serenity to accept the things i cannot change ;  Courage to change the things that i can ;  and the wisdom to know the difference!!!

I am going to have surgery in January, but I too am excited to obtain this wonderful tool to help me change my lifestyle. I am so glad there are so many people in my age group on here to look to for support. One thing I am worried about is having the urge to go back to my old eating habits after I am several months out. Does anyone else worry about this?
Also, I keep trying think of a saying that I saw: "Nothing tastes as good as skinny )and healthy of course) feels"
