Wow! The two of us are definitely surgery twins! Looking forward to hearing your success stories too... the two of us, and a few others here, are about to finally break free and grab a chance at being healthy again. I don't really care how different my face looks... I got a blood lab result this year of "prediabetes" and that was it. I asked for surgery and was approved pretty fast because I had several comorbidities. Now it's been weeks of pre-surgery diet, lots of tests (my surgeon gave me a handwritten test about RNY! I passed it though, very proud), and almost there. How funny we both have the same surgery date. I go in at 11:15, surgery is 1:15. I will be pulling for you Cowgirl... I've spent the last few weeks very excited trying to pick an exercise activity I'll FINALLY get to give my time to... I cannot wait! Our moment is almost here! 45 more hours...!
