Welcome and congratulations on the best descion you ever made. I had my surgery in August but I would be more then happy to be your buddy.Lisa

Awesome! Thanks! With a little over two weeks until my surgery,do your any suggestions on how to prepare?

[antinette 19]

Just make sure that you stick to your liquid diet and after surgery walk as soon as you can. Also remember that you are human and you may have some bumps going thgrough it but ,Its not as bad as everyone makes it out to be and as long as you trust your surgeon, then you are ready. Its great and so exciting.

I don't have to do a pre-surgery liquid diet since I met the 10% weight loss goal. I have well-meaning people telling me I shouldn't have the surgery because I've done well with this first goal. I have chosen the surgical route because of health issues.

[antinette 19]

I had the band surgery in 2011 cause of a well meaning husband and it was the biggest mistake of my life. If you are doing well controling yourself now that is great, but remember how you got to being over weight to begin with. With the sleeve you stomache will be permanetly reduced so you do not have to worry about gaining back the weight you already lost as before. I am not saying you can not gain weight ever again back with the will power and ambition you are showing before surgery, you are going to do amazing with the surgery.

Do what makes you happy and stick with it. Don't let anyone change your mind.

Hi, can it be your buddy also my surgery in tomorrow. I had to do the 10 day liquid diet. I was 236 now I'm 225. I'm so nervous but I feel great so far. I'm having the surgery because of heart conditions. For some reason for the last couple of days I have been nesting like I'm waiting to go in labor ha!

I'm guessing from your user name you're in NC. I am as well!

So I have had all appointments minus the psychological eval. I just found out I don't have to do the 3/6 month waiting period. I had my second nutrition appt and I am Enlightened about all of the new stuff I've been learning but feeling kinda bad that I've only lost one pound In two weeks. :-/
