April 25th for me, any surgery buddies?

[smiley84 0]

Hello all, I'm taking the plunge and writing on here for the first time. It's been a great support already. I am booked in for a gastric bypass RNY on Saturday 25th April and nerves and excitement have kicked in.

I'm a mother to a young child so that is playing a huge part in the nerves. I'm excited to be a healthier parent though.

Currently at 265lb with a BMI of 47. Really unsure of what I'm expecting to lose, and although I have done the research I still feel unsure of what to expect following the surgery.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Any surgery buddies out there?

Thank you. Phew I feel better for writing that down! X

We can be surgery buddies! My surgery is Tuesday May 19. I feel really good about the surgery. I've been doing the pre-op diet for 15 days and I've already lost 15.5 pounds. I really believe I have my mindset going in the right direction!
