Hi there it is nice to meet everyone, I am new here, in need of advice from the experts who have had the surgery. Also looking for someone who is also pre op, so we can discuss feelings and thoughts though this journey of weight loss. My surgery is scheduled for September 6 and honestly I am getting very nervous, I have a small support system at home. I am not metioning my surgery to a whole lot of people, fear of negative feed back, which I really am not in the mood for. I am a 47 year old single mother of an 8 year old daughter who is my world. I want to be healthier for myself and my daughter, we have lots to do.
