Hey @@Courtneyxo17 ... my biggest piece of advice to you is research, research, research. I went into the info session thinking I wanted the lap band and came out completely discouraged from it and deciding to do the sleeve. My surgery is Dec 11th and I'm super excited! Review this site as much as you possibly can. I spend boring nights and mornings at work surfing the pages, especially the recipes

I have received more information from this site and the awesome people on here than from any of the medical sites or even my doctor. It is beyond helpful and everyone here is like a huge family - extremely supportive, loving and encouraging.... but along with that comes the brutal honesty. At first I was upset with how blunt some people got, but then I realized - they are only looking out for you. They don't want you to not have the same information they have or make the same mistakes they did.

If you have ANY questions, post them! Start a new thread or put up a status.... it's how I've gotten through some rough Patches this journey, and how I have connected with some great people on here.

It's such an exciting journey - I wish you all the best and hope you get the surgery you are hoping for <3

i have no idea yet!

I did, recently. So far so good. When is your informational session?

yeah i think so! did you get the sleeve?

I can really help. I had no issue with the preop diet and even lost 25 Lbs during it. Are you already leaning toward the sleeve?

thank you so much! i think im gonna start doing that too little by little

Hi @@Courtneyxo17! My advice would be to Educate yourself as much as possible. If you've already done that then you're off to a great start. For me, my relationship with food was damaging and I had to confront that before continuing. I made small changes to my diet, Gradually over 7 months that resulted in significant weight loss. Because I have made those changes, it has been easier for me to transition to the post op diet And in specific, eating smaller portions. Everyone is different and for me this made a huge impact.

Good luck to you and happy early birthday!

hey guys my name is courtney and i am new here!

i am around 280 lbs, 20 years old ( nov 10th ) and im 5'5

i have done EVERYTHING from diets to pills, to excersise class. nothing.

im so fed up of being tired and depressed about my body. i want to look FANTASTIC when i graduate college in 2 years ( hopefully lol)

so what would did you to get started?

my mom said im going to go to a information session which is a good start but i want to do this so bad.

any tips? also if you could leave me some tips and information for before or after the surgery that would be awesome

if you also want to become friends and maybe support each other or something just message me, i love talking to new people!
