  1. Hi go walking. I'm having my surgery on 10/16/14. Very excited and very nervous. Have about 150 pounds to lose. I was wondering if you still get restriction without ever having a fill?
  2. Congratulations! My surgery date is Oct. 16. I'm feeling nervous too about surgery too. I love this site to come to for encouragement and especially the success stories. What are you on for your pre op diet?
  3. Just got my surgery date, 10/16. Going to start today cleaning out my fridge and cupboards of junk food. Can't wait. Am feeling nervous. How are you feeling today after 2 weeks from surgery?

  6. I have my final appointment with the surgeon on 1/23. I'm going back and forth. Some days I'm all determined to do it and then days I'm scared out of my mind to do it. Not just from the surgery but the whole way of life and changes that it will bring. I lost 121 pounds 4 years ago and gained all my weight back. Feel like a failure that I can't control my food issues on my own. Your story was very uplifting. Thanks for sharing.
