November 8th

Good Afternoon, I have my surgery scheduled on November 8th with Dr. Shikora at BWH. I am seeing my nutritionist this Tuesday for my diet. Just wondering what would the diet consist of? I am so nervious.

I never thought this would ever happen in my hometown! I am in complete shock and work here is completely quiet! My prayers and thoughts are with everyone in Boston

You will be ok my love. You are going to get your life back. I hope i can learn from the 6 months waiting.

I envy you . I have Tufts so I have to. Good luck to you

Awwww that sux that B&W doesnt . I enjoy that hospital more. Not sure if the location is better for me maybe. But i am going to look into that thank you

I wish i have done it sooner

I wish i have done it sooner

I have Dr. Shikora! Who did you have?

Yes I really do need that help. I need all the help I can get honestly. I went to the seminar this week. And I just got all my group appointments yesterday. So I officially start May 2nd. I dont know where to begin on the pre op weight loss

So you understand that we live off of carbs ALWAYS! I am getting my surgery done at Brigham and Womens......

Thank you....I am excited and nervous about everything!

Good Morning Everyone, I have just started the process to get the surgery done. Of course I am in my 1 month and my insurance require a 6 month "I CAN CHANGE" process before they can approve me. I have been overweight my whole life. I am ready to make this change, FOR ME. My family supports me and I actually have my aunt doing the whole process with me since she is also considering it as well. My boyfriend supports me all the way. I am a 27 year old Puerto Rican female with no children and engaged to an amazing guy. As a typical spanish family we LOVE our CARBS! Right after high school (9 years ago) I have gained 70 lbs. I have gone with so much and upset with myself that I have let myself go. I am ready to change and I am glad I have found this website. Thank you for reading my Post
