Sorry BanditKay, guess I'm not very good with quoting alot of this forum stuff. I guess I'll learn, lol.

It is so great that you've decided to have this surgery, especially at your age, before the excess weight takes it's toll on your body. I would have loved to have this available to me back then. It is very easy to keep saying you'll do it on your own, but that rarely works for longer than a couple of years if you're lucky. My understanding is this is a tool and when used with other recommendations of your surgeon you will be thanking yourself for years to come. Keep up with the positive attitude and it will get you through. Also remember postop, no matter how tired or painful it is at first, the sooner you get moving, the faster the pain will go. Of course following the recommendations of the staff. Make sure you let us know how you do!

I'm new to this site and I don't know anyone who has had this surgery, so I expect I'll spend alot of time here getting info from other bloggers. I start my preop diet on Friday and my surgery is on June 1. I'm both nervous and excited.
