I am also just starting the process and I know how nerve racking it can be. I might be looking at getting the surgery in 6-8 weeks or 6-7 months and I think as much as I want it to happen fast and soon so I can start living a life more time may be just what I need time to figure out what role food has played in my life and what role it will play after surgery. I think the best thing you can do is follow your doctors orders research research research the procedure you feel is best for you and your body, and try to stay positive!!! You will make it thru this
