I have been getting ready for the gastric sleeve surgery since July. My surgery date is January 14th. I am pretty antsy right now although I have had much more serious hospitalizations in the past. My Dr is Dr. Peter Liao GBMC Comprehensive Obesity Management Program in Baltimore Maryland. Right now I am 5'5 1/2 " and weigh 250 lbs. I know that I want to lose at lease 100 lbs. I can't imagine how this is going to feel carrying around that much less weight. You see , I broke both legs in a car wreck 10 years ago.
Something that has me even more anxious is the fact that my husband's former wife went into have gastric bypass surgery in 2009 and they opened her up and they found cancer throughout her body. She passed away in 2011. So, I am not only anxious for me, but I am concerned about him as well.
It's great to be part of the forum.
