Hi, lukkymeee. I am new here, too! I'm having the op on April 22 and am getting a little more anxious as the date approaches. I've had surgery in the past so I am not worried about the SURGERY aspect of it...I am more nervous about how life will be AFTER the surgery. I'm near the end of my 2nd week of Optifast and trying to get my weight down to the surgeon's specifications which has been fun! lol Good luck and I look forward to hearing more from you!
