Hi all, I have one month to go till my surgery and my doctor told me about this site so I thought I would give it a try. My journey started in August with my first appointment. I researched the procedure before I went to my appointment. I have been battling my weight since I was a teenager and decided to get surgery because diabetes and high blood pressure runs in my family. So after all of my clearances I am one month away from my surgery. I am excited and a little nervous.

Sounds like your story is much like most of us. Good luck with this new journey and keep us all posted on your progress!
