<p>I am just beginning to get my funding and appointments scheduled. I've had 6 months of Doctor monitored dieting, a Psych assessment and have gone to 3 different seminars. I'm really excited about the life changing surgery and potentially having more energy and less weight to carry around. I gained the weight before and after having a baby and so 32 years later, I'm going to get rid of the "baby fat". I am researching the surgery and reading what other people are telling about their experiences. I would like to know more about meals and what can or cannot be eaten, possible a menu that I can follow. I haven't met with my surgeon as of yet but I have 3 appointments within the next 10 days. I would like to know where to buy Myocel. </p>

<p>I have the surgery scheduled on 12/12/11 at 1:00 p.m. I will spend the night in the hospital. I have lost 11.2 lbs in the past 2 weeks as of Friday when I weighed in at the doctor's office. I'm not scared or anxious today. I know it's the best thing that I could do for myself, my children and grandchildren. This is going to be a December to Remember!</p>
