awesome, i am 3 days behind you. we will have to stay in touch to see how eachother is doing!!!!

Thanks everyone, i really appreciate the warm wishes and good information. Im just happy I get to do this. Im so tired of being obese and the vsg will be perfect for me. I am a total volume eater and that is where my problem lies. Thanks again

Mmcclure, if My post offended you I'm truly sorry. That wasn't My intent. This post upset me but yes your right everyone is entitled to their own opinions. This website and OH have helped me so much so I really hope you keep coming back. Good luck to you and your daughter!

My surgery date is set for June 17th. Im getting really nervous now. Im sure this is normal. If anyone has any good tips to start now, I would greatly appreciate. As much as im nervous I can wait to be sleeved and start losing some weight!

You know I dont post much but had to for this one. This is so judgemental and ridiculous. Yeah its so easy for you to tell someone oh go get another job or this or that because you have never been in that situation. You have no clue and should not have this post up. I almost died after giving birth to my son because the idiot american doctor had me deliver my baby vaginally when i was told by many doctors i should have had a c-section and my blood pressure went to 80/50 and i passed out and had to have 2 blood transfusions within the hour after having my son. I have seen many american doctors who need to go back to school. There are many doctors in other countries who have way more practice and I would trust way before alot of doctors here. How close minded are you to post something like this. You obviously live in a very very small world.

Im June 17th, good luck ladies!!!!

I completely understand what you are going through. My daughter is just about 12, she has been overweight since she was very young. Its odd because my son is completely opposite. Its a struggle to get him to eat. She keeps asking me about diets lately she sees on t.v and I keep telling her she dosent need to diet, she is fine she just needs to cut back on portion, but then I feel like a complete hypocrite because thats my biggest issue. I havent told her about the surgery and I almost dont want to because i dont want her to get it in her head since im doing this she can do it too! Shes a active kid, has been in sports and dance since she was four. She just eats alot like her mom. My sister has four kids and only one is overweight. I dont understand. They all get the same amount of food as my kids. Anyways just wanted to share that.:blushing:
