Lookingforwardtothin. I am seeing Jennifer Nelson in the Yale Cardiac Group. Petrified they are going to tell me I can't have surgery. U have never had any heart problems. But my Ekgs were off. Hellooooo someone please tell my body that I am 40 not 90n

Im ready for something more solid! I go tomorrow and meet with nurse for next phase. I sat through a big family dinner today and it wasnt so bad but Im sick of Ensure and liquids!

Congrats!! What a success story. Truly gives me hope!

Parents, family and friends are used to fitting into a role in your life. Now you're ready to rock the boat, and they don't like it. They want everything to stay the same, that's all. It's the fear of the unknown. They may be part of the reason you have the weight on you to begin with -- a shield from their criticism. It's OK to move into the adult world and not need their approval anymore. We're all here to support you with no judgment.

I invited everyone that I received messages from.
I just approved your request.

One of the tests I'm scheduled for is an abdominal ultrasound. This is to look at my gallbladder to see if there are any stones in it. If there are, the surgeon may remove it as well to avoid further complications. I'm also having a hiatal hernia repair. This should help cut down on GERD, which I already have. So many things to do to get ready. I'm glad to meet all of you and to have this support!! Good luck to us all...

I'm proud that you stayed on the diet. This is a big fear for me. I'm not ready to begin the pre-op yet, but I'm doing some trial runs. I've been substituting Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch most days and eating regular at dinner. It's amazing how quickly the shakes fill you up! Night time will be the challenge for me so I'm practicing now. It will be another 6 weeks before I have to get really strict so just psyching myself out.

Yeah! Visit went well and it's the sleeve for me. Now I just have my checklist to get through. Surgeon said I could have my surgery by end of April if I get all my tests done quickly. Getting started on it today!

Thank you! Makes sense.
