Hi all, puglvr4life - I am being baded at Torrance Memorial Hospital in California. My Doctor is Milton Owens. I am nervous and STARVING. Have been drinking Protein shakes only since Saturday!

Hi all, My surgery date is 09/21. I would love to have someone with a surgery date that is close to mine that I can email to share progress. I don't know anyone who has had the surgery and I have nothing to compare it to. I am feeling a little nervous! Please let me know if you are interested. Thank you!

For me there were three main reasons: 1) My Grandmother died at 59 due to complications from type II diabetes. I look just like her and carry my weight the same way that she did. 2) My 5 year old was diagnosed with high cholesterol. This was a wake-up call for my whole family. 3) Two weeks ago my overweight 47 year old mother was told that if she didn't take measures to get the weight off that she would not be able to walk within the next two years. I don't want to end up like my Grandmother or Mother and I don't want to pass on this legacy to my two daughters. I am trying to stop the cycle with me.
