I'm a few weeks away from surgery and only support i have is bariatric pal and my husband. My dad is questioning why I'm going through with this surgery he says i have the will power to lose on my own. I've been yoyo dieting for years and continued to fail i need help I've tried everything and surgery is the only way i can find help. Nobody understands my struggle but those who are going through it. Sigh....venting

Ive heard of a woman that had abdominal surgery and she developed abdominal adhesions they were unable to operate her laparoscopic so they had to open her up. I suggest u consult with different surgeons before choosing the right path. Good luck.

Premier protein for sure. Chocolate is amazing is 1 gram and are ready to go no need to prepare them.

Sounds odd my surgery is on the 29 and i got prescribed pain meds now so i can have them by surgery. I would suggest talking to him to express your concerns
