Hello all, I go in for my preop in the morning to give blood and meet with the dietician. I am 5'9 and about 384 pounds and so ready to get rid of some of this weight. The liquid diet prior to surgery scares the crap out of me but I think I can do it. If everything goes well, they gave me a tentative surgery date of september 15th. Medical wise, I have diabetes and high blood pressure and hope to lose both once I lose weight. I just need to lose to give me some motivation to even wanna work out. Wish me well!
