Me too!!

Hey, I'm having surgery on Monday. Any other November surgeries out there? I need to find a Facebook group to join but I have been off of FB for two years. Thanks!

Super, thank you!

Yasss!

Proud of you for taking this step to take care of yourself. You are worth it. Keep it up, girl!!

Woohooo!!! You go gurl!!

Yasss! Way to go!

I'm concerned about hair loss too. What vitamins/supplements do you take? I hope you are out of the woods!

How are you doing now?

Thank you! It has been a little scary but also good to read about people's experiences. Sometimes I read too many of the complications posts all at once and get overwhelmed. There are risks with the surgery and there are risks without the surgery. I need to make the best well-informed decision I can for myself and not allow fear to make my decisions for me.

Thanks, James! I read your paper on how your survived bariatric surgery. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Are you okay?

Two more visits with my dietician and then will submit for insurance approval. Hoping to have GBS before the end of the year. Started a meal replacement drink for breakfast and multivitamins about a week ago as well as other recommendations from my RD. Trying to start changes now and prepare as much as I can for post-op life. Some things I have read on this forum scare me and others are helpful/encouraging. Looking forward to positive interactions on here and learning more to help me succeed on my journey.

Woohoo!! That is awesome.

Oh goodness. That screenshot, tho. :l
