I'm just starting out on my journey Fletcher Allen bc. 1 month into the 6 month pre op diet. Next week I'm going for my upper GII assessment. First time for any operation. I'm a little nervous. My diet is going ok. I need to lose 13# before surgery and I'm down 8 already. I'm going to attend the group support meeting on Monday. I'm hoping the surgery will scare me thin so I won't need it but nothing really worked so far. Today is Halloween food day at work! I wonder if I can find all the foods on myfitnesspal? Must stay away!

Any one part of the Fletcher Allen program?

Hi Steve, I did see a doctor at Fletcher Allen, or actually, the surgeon who removed my gall bladder talked to me about bariatric surgery. I happen to be living in India right now though, so I ended up getting it done here by a surgeon who worked in the US for ten years. I was absolutely terrified about the surgery but everything went great and I'm very, very happy I had it. I've had no problems at all. Best of luck on your journey and congratulations on making this life changing decision!
