One week until the big day!

[DA2837 4]

Hi All!

I'm so excited to join this community, and gearing up for the big day next Wednesday 5/11! I'm 26 years old, and have struggled my entire life with my weight, after a recent health concern with my father, at his weight of near 400 pounds, I realized I needed to take control of my life again, and ensure that I don't end up in the same predicament as him. After about 3 months of pre work and labs/tests, i'm finally almost there. I've lost 15 pounds pre-op, and am really ready to just get this surgery over with to get on with recovery! I'm taking off 5 weeks off of work, which i'm so thankful for, since so many of you have said how fatigued you are for a few weeks after. Any and all tips, tricks, and pre-op information you might have for me would be amazing! I've done a ton of research, but its great to hear your stories, as well as any other threads you found helpful during your journey!

Hi All!

Any and all tips, tricks, and pre-op information you might have for me would be amazing! I've done a ton of research, but its great to hear your stories, as well as any other threads you found helpful during your journey!

Hence the "search" button........just kidding....no, really.....the search would be the best way. There are thousands of posts regarding tips and valuable info....that are a shame to have just fade into obscurity. Search them out.

Besides, there are thousands of tips......just too many to remember or generalize in a post.

If you have something specific to inquire about....fire away.

Good luck with your journey.
