Hi all. I'm new to the Forum and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jacki and my surgery is scheduled for February 6th! I'm both excited and nervous. While I will welcome the weight loss my main reason for the surgery is for health reasons. I'm 53, diabetic, have had a heart attack and have high blood pressure I'm hoping to eliminate some, if not all of these issues. I welcome getting to know you and hear of your journey.
