I have really been suffering the ill effects of my large hiatal hernia. Did months of tests and then sent to general surgeon. He wanted me to lose 100-120 lbs prior to surgery. Went to seminar to learn about bariatric surgery. I will have my hernia repaired and my sleeve at the same time. On my 2 week pre surgery liquid diet. I do well with the calories, but struggling to not go over in protein. Surgery on the 17th. Have 2 friends at work that have had the sleeve (one in Dec and 1 last month). Went to monthly support group and the friend a month out from surgery was the one everyone wanted to talk to.

Welcome to the VST Family and good luck on your upcoming sleeve date!!!! I think you will find that that this place is a wealth of knowledge and support. Good luck to you in your continued journey and keep us posted on your progress.

Take Care~
