bmatt418 8 Posted September 25, 2018 Hi Everyone, I am super excited to start this new journey to become healthy . I was skinny as a teenager and in my twenties. But after several back and neck surgeries, i started putting on weight. I have two adult children and my husband who are very supportive. My EGD is tomorrow 9/25 and surgery (Gastric Sleeve) is scheduled for Oct 2. My surgeon is Dr. St. Laurent in Cypress Texas. If anyone has any helpful hints that they would share with me, I would greatly appreciate it. 3 thatch, GreenTealael and MargoCL reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frustr8 7,886 Posted September 25, 2018 Sending prayers and a hug across the miles, I was an Early September, even with its trials it is SO worth it. Would never go back, I am many years older to have done this, can't say I didn't know about this, I knew, I just bought into the Too Old, Too Broke-down, No Surgeon would touch YOU and the most hurtful Move to one side, You are blocking a Younger More Worthy Person. But my Clarity moments came and I am so Thankful it was not TOO LATE for ME!😛👍💓 1 bmatt418 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
