Hey everyone, newbie here! I am preparing for my VSG surgery and boy are things moving fast! Surgeon & seminar next weekend and the following week my mental health assessment and then bam I can schedule surgery! I love my insurance company let me tell you! My surgeon's nurse wanted to schedule me 2 weeks after my mental health assesment, I was like whoah slow down I have to get time off etc lol. I will discuss dates with surgeon next week, I am thinking sometime in March, I will post once I know.

My story is long and detailed, so I will post it later. But I weigh today 276.8lbs and I am already starting to do some things that I know I will have to do after surgery, like I have not had a carbonated beverage in a week - wow - that has been hard! Starting to sip beverages and not gulp and eat small bites of food, chewing really well, I figure better to start habits now!

All of the stories on here are inspirng and the stories and information given is helping me so much, I am so grateful I found this site, I look forward to sharing my journey and reading more about everyone else's!

Love & Hugs -

Anne

Congrats on your up coming VSG surgery. New habits are great I did the same thing before my VSG surgery, I started eating slowly and chewing everything 100 times it made a difference for me at least.

Keep posting and again Congrats on up coming VSG.

Congrats my surgery is tomorrow. I am too excited I had a couple of set baks. But now it is finally here.
