PedsNurse92 37 Posted May 28, 2013 I have my surgery on Tues June 4th. Im nervous but so excited about what's to come. I know it's going to be very hard in the weeks following surgery but Im ready! I have really high blood pressure that I have been struggling with for years. Im at 195 pounds and 35 BMI, I have struggled with weight loss because of hypothyroidism. I know I don't have a huge amount of weight to lose but in the end hopefully I will be healthier and maybe get off some medication. I am 32 with 2 kids and Im mostly looking forward to being active with my kids and husband and being happy in my skin for the first time in a really long time!! 4 Ms skinniness, moonewitch, Molly3 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PedsNurse92 37 Posted May 29, 2013 Im really lucky because my Dr doesn't do the preop diet unless you have enlarged liver and supposedly my liver is ok? Good luck! Im sorry you guys have to go through that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
