stephjoysm 16 Posted August 2, 2013 I had my surgery three weeks ago. I was 267 on surgery day. Don't be nervous. The surgery is over before you know it. All I remember after bring wheeled into the operation room is how bright and cold it was and someone said something like I'm going to give you some medication to help you relax. Then I woke up in recovery. Lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kristin16847 4 Posted August 2, 2013 Well just got through it,Dr.Boell is awesome, definitely made me feel more at ease I was completely shocked at the scale 310lbs, she ordered phetermine, and metformin. I am not diabetic thank the lord but she told me how it worked and I understood it at the time, but god forbid I couldn't explain it if you asked LOL. I will do this no turning back now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
