Hi everybody. I am 35 and overweight (obviously). I am super excited about the new chapter I am about to begin. I am scheduled with Dr. ALmanza. I would love to hear from anyone who has went recently. I know he has been on vacation but any recent stories would be great!!

I am planning on doing Atkins for 2 weeks prior to surgery to make sure my liver is out of the way:001_tongue:

I have done it b4 very successfully but not long term so I feel good about that.

I cant wait to move my ticker down! I have struggled with it for years!

I am an RN in local ER, mother and wife. I love college football and cruises! Now I feel like im on a singles site:)

Anyway thanks for reading, hope to make many new friends!!!

Hi there and welcome!!! You will be sure to find lots of support here in these forums! I don't have a surgery date yet but it will be sometime in early June I think so I will let you know and we can be buddies and go through this together! I am using a doc here in Denver so can't help you out in that department but I've heard the name a lot so I'm sure plenty of others here have used him.

Wishing you all the best on your journey!

HI Sam and welcome

I'm in on June 10th.... and theres quite a few of us with dates for June, so you're likely to find one on the same day too.

I'm still waiting to hear what my pre op diet will be - I think the not knowing is worse!!

Good luck and keep us informed

Kathy

I will be sleveed on May 19th so I am just a head of you. I am on day 4 of my pre-op liquid diet and today is ruff for me. But I wanted to welcome you and wish you luck.
