Newbie-December 20 Surgery Date

[tnnorton 12]

Hello everyone! I am super excited to be on here! I am excited about my surgery because I have been waiting for this pretty much my whole life.

I have been dieting since I was 10. I have done everything from Nutrisysyem to Weight Watchers and everything in-between. In 2009 I had Lap Band surgery and actually lost more weight when they took it out in late 2011.

When they took out my lapband they found out I had an enlarged liver which now I know is fatty liver and nonalcoholic sclerosis of the liver. Two months later I was also diagnosed with diabetes. It's definitely been a bit overwhelming.

But now I am starting this journey. I know this isn't going to be an easy road but it is one I can't wait to travel!

My surgery is December 20th and I just wanted a place I could talk with others on this same journey. I know many people suggested to post here first, so now what? Any suggestions?

Welcome tnnorton and congrats on your surgery date. I'm a lapband to rny revision as well. Even though the lapband was removed, it's still considered revision.

Posting here is the best start to intro yourself as far as what's next.....Hope on into other posts on the boards, do lots of reading and ask questions.
