Hey all! My name is Lesli. Im new to the forum and am just beginning what I hope will be an awesome journey of the rest of my life. Im officially scheduled for my VSG for 5/2/13! *claps hands*

While Im very excited and hopefull, I am somewhat concerned amd very curious about life after surgery. I have a plan though. This nxt month I'm walking daily in anticipation of a good recovery. I'm also using a deep penetrating oil on my trouble areas (hoping to keep skin from sagging as much later). Im going to purchase an abdominal binder (I heard wearing one for a few months post op will reduce the severity of an apron..any testimonies on that subject?). Im also going to begin using a product that I respect to decrease the loss of lean muscle during rapid weight loss (will start this with my preop liquid diet but stop 2 days prior to surgery and restart after surg). I am planning to go bck one year postop for a mommy makeover. Im hoping my plan goes smoothly. Please lift me up n prayer as I begin this journey. Any suggestions from the experienced VSGs are welcome! Amd good luck n prayers to all the fellow journeymen!
