sandylyn88 10 Posted June 28, 2015 Hey everyone! I am new on here, just wanting to introduce myself. My name is sandy, I'm 27 years old, and either going to have the vsg or bypass. My first surgeon appointment is Tuesday June 30!! Nervous and excited. I've given up soda and other carbonated drinks, and still battling giving up smoking. I just need to do it! Also have been doing my best to eat 3 balanced meals and Snacks only if I'm hungry in between. Anyone on here at or around my same stage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
