Hey autumn punkin, you look fabulous!! My surgery date in Sept the 18th I'm so excited but I have a question. I have been overweight my whole life and I'm worried about my skin. You look great and don't seem to have that problem. Is that the case? And if so is there a trick to getting rid of it?

Autumnpunkin, you look fabulous!! Do you have a lot of extra skin? I'm worried bc I have been overweight my whole life so I have done a number on my belly and arms and legs.

Yeah Iv have seen that before its crazy.

I start my liquid Thursday. In having surgery on the .18th. I started the whole process in July Si I have been very fortunate not to run into any problems. What types if things are you drinking for your liquid diet? I'm a food addict I know it's gonna be tough in me to do this but I want to live a long life.

OK I'M ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF AWAY FROM CHATT. Have you had your surgery yet?

Good luck to you too! I will. Do you know how you post pictures with your post on here.

I'm set for surgery on Sept 18th. I'm so excited!!! I wanted to know what are some suggestions on what to drink for my pre liquid diet. I'm doing it for a week or maybe 8 days. Plus I want to know others experiences with after surgery diet, what works best. What to take for hair skin and nails.

I am 37 and I have the same things. I have had two back surgeries. I am having gastric bypass on the 18th. The Dr did say it would help a lot of my pain but don't rule out surgery. Best thing I ever did!!

I Sept 18th. I'm in Georgia, I'm so anxious!! Would love some last minute advise from those who have already gone through it. Good luck with yours.

Thank u I didn't think of that

Starting my 8 day pre surgery liquid diet on Monday. Any suggestions on certain things to buy??

I have many friends who have had the surgery and not one has had any hair loss. As long as you do not let yourself get malnourished you will be fine. I'm 14 days away from my surgery!! I'm so excited!!! Good luck to you!!!

If you are having all these bad experiences then you are not eating right and getting enough vitamins.... You need to go back to. Nutrition class.. malnourishment!!!!

Yep Ninja all the way!! My surgery us set for September 18th!! I got my call today. Have you had your EGD yet? I had mine two days ago. I'm excited! I wish I were having it tomorrow but my surgeon is in high demand and so I wait!! Good luck with your surgeon visit...good luck in the rest if your journey!!

I want to know peoples experience with pain after surgery. Kinda scared!!!

I have another question. I've been overweight all my life and I know that my skin has been stretched to the max! how did you deal with all the extra skin after you lost all that weight (lostinthought)?

Thanks guys. I'm so anxious I can't stand it!!! I hope my surgery date is soon!!

HI, I GO AUG 20TH FOR MY EDG, NUTRITION CLASS, WHERE I PAY MY FEE AND THEN THE NEXT DAY THEY WILL CALL ME FOR MY SURGERY DATE. NURSE SAID HOPEFULLY WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK AND A HALF. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS LIQUID DIET BEFORE SURGERY. I WANT TO TRY TO DO THAT, BUT WHAT DO I NEED TO DRINK? PLEASE GIVE ME IDEAS, I CAN MAKE SMOOTHIES WITH MY NINJA, BUT WHAT KIND OF FRUITS AND FOODS SHOULD I USE? I AM HAVING MY SURGERY AT EMORY IN ATLANTA. SO EXCITED. HOW MUCH PAIN CAN I EXPECT TI BE IN?? I TEND TO HAVE A HARD TIME WITH COMING OUT OF MY SLEEP, ESPECIALLY IF I'M IN ALOT OF PAIN, I TEND TO FREAK OUT!! Any advise would be greatly appreciated!!!!

I would love to be able to come to meetings. I live in Bartow county. My surgery is in September.

Hey, I live in Bartow county, I'm pre-op. Hopefully having surgery in September. Where in Bartow are you from

Hi, I'm having my EDG and nutrition class on Aug, 20th. They will call me on the 21st with my surgery date. I'm very excited but scared at the same time!! I'm a food addict. Although since I have moved in with my mother she helps me control my eating better. I have started walking and I plan on starting my liquid diet maybe two weeks before surgery to get my body used to the shock...lol Have you lost any weight? One if the things I am worried about is skin, I've always Bern big so my skin has always been stretched. I don't want to look horrible with a lot of extra skin.

Tomorrow I will be scheduling my EDG and my gastric bypass. It took a long time for me to start this process but I'm happy to say it has only taken me two months to get this far. I'm really looking forward to the results. I know this is going to be a lot of hard work, but I'm so over being overweight and sick. I have such a poor quality of life and I've missed out on a lot because of it. I have two teenage boys who depend on me and I want to be there for them through their journey in life. I just hope to make some friends on here so that I can stay encouraged and motivated.

I'm 37 years old I'm a single mother of two my current weight is 318 pounds have numerous medical problems I've had 11 surgeries and gastric bypass is about to be my 12th I'm so so excited about having this surgery is going to be a major major change in my life I'm looking to meet new friends and have helped along my journey with the process before and after
