I am 44 years old. My surgery date, roux en y, is set for 12/20/23. I am excited, nervous, trying to not look back except for inspiration. I have done as much research as possible to prepare myself. At a start weight of 263, 5’6”, I am ready to really start losing inches and lbs no longer confidence. My surgery is set to be performed at Dubois hospital in PA, by Dr. Meagan P. Lundgren, General/Bariatric surgeon. Prayers are appreciated.
