Welcome all you newbies. I'm preop as well, but I have been on the forum for awhile. Just so you know, a lot of us have second Facebook accounts just for weight loss support. If you create one, look me up!! My username is amberVSG2013.

So glad you posted that about Facebook....was afraid I was the only one LOL But want to keep this off facebook. Welcome all our newbies.....I'm preop, but have been lurking for a few months. waiting on insurance....

Welcome to all, what a journey. I commend you ability to get out there before the big day, I found that wanted to document my process but was afraid that it want going to get the results that I wanted…. It did and continues to, bets choice I ever made (this and not drinking / partying anymore).

^{Well, I am a NEW newbie to this site. I am just starting my 90 day diet, trying out the Protein Drinks and trying to stay on track. Lots of appointments set, and the process moving right along. Hoping for a late Oct. or early Nov. surgery. I am gung ho ready for a life change toward a healthier me and being able to do active stuff with my kiddo. Doing pretty good thus far for the diet for a meat and potatoes person. I hope that my hate for veggies progresses into a love . Current weight 276 --> goal 170.}

Good luck hope you are successful

I'm so glad I have found this site. It has helped me so much and I've gained a lot of information. I have ONE test left until my surgery date is set. The test is an EGD, has anyone had it? I'm a little nervous about it. The plan is for an AUGUST surgery. I can't believe it is almost here. I am cash pay, my insurance would not pay a penny. All I want is that final date!!!!!!
