You look fabulous and so much younger. I wouldn't even guess the pictures are of the same person.

Hi I live in Fishkill and am going through the process still with Tristate Bariatrics. Would love the hear all about your experience. How are you feeling so far.

Thanks for everyone's input. I guess I the point of my question is just to make sure I am doing enough to prepare beforehand I am just above the BMI so they told me I didn't have to lose just not gain. I call it a journey because that's what it is.

When I started this journey I was at a low BMI. I was told that I really didn't need to lose weight just not gain. Because of this I don't think I have really prepared myself for the behavioral changes that I will have to make in relation to food. I have replaced meals with shakes and I have tried to pay attention to what I am eating and I have gotten rid of Diet Pepsi. I also try to slip slow and not drink with meals but I still don't think its enough. I would like to hear from people that made significant changes before surgery vs those that wait until after surgery to deal with issues. Thanks for the Info

Thanks for all of your responses. This sight has become my best friend during this journey.

Hi Everyone. I had my endoscopy yesterday and the Dr told me I have a hiatal hernia and that if I go ahead with the sleeve surgery I would need to have it repaired at the same time. I didn't really have much time to talk to him so I would like to know how having this hernia changes my upcoming surgery.
