I am! It feels weird knowing that the "fat" part of my life is almost over. I've been overweight most of my life, I have no idea how it feels to be healthy. I've been humiliated and frustrated by my size countless times. I can't wait for my life to actually BEGIN. I can't believe how many great comments I've seen about OCC. I was really paranoid at first, so I researched like crazy, and they really seem top notch! Congrats on losing 100+lbs! That's INSANE! How did you find the experience? How was the transition to a new lifestyle? It definitely took some adjusting. I had the usual buyer's remorse in the first week or two, but felt a lot better once I could eat more solid foods and get more calories in. Then I had a little period once I was on solid foods where I was frustrated I couldn't binge eat to cope with my emotions anymore. I still wanted to binge, but I could manage so little food, that it wasn't satisfying. I had to learn to process my emotions without food. I'd say by about month 4 I was really in the swing of things and found my new "normal". Life's been really good since then! That's extremely encouraging to hear. I binge a lot, too. Huge, ginormous portions and lazy food choices are my main problem. I know how to eat properly, and my parents raised me on healthy foods (just big portions) -- I'm so thankful I don't have to start from scratch and learn to like veggies. I'm hoping to find a sport I like as a new emotional outlet to replace food. Quick question... I'm going to call the OCC nutritionnist tomorrow, but what did you do for pre-op? Did you use the Vitaleph stuff they recommend? I live in Canada and I don't know if it'll get delivered on time before next Monday (2 weeks before surgery). Plus, it's expensive AF...

Awesome! Did you get your surgery date, yet?

So am I! I've been ready MY WHOLE LIFE! haha Where are you getting your surgery, if I may ask?

Hi! First-time poster here. I have an appointment with the bank tomorrow. If my loan gets approved, I'm getting a VSG with Dr. Ariel Ortiz, from the Obesity Control Center. Spoke with him on the phone yesterday, seems like a great guy; his credentials are very impressive too. I really hope I get approved. I'm terrified!
