    I am from Conover Ohio, which is about 25 mins north of Dayton. I do not have a date yet, I have to do a three month diet to get my BMI down.. so far so good! I am going to Dr. Trace Curry out of Cincinnati. Right now the only thing I have to do is lose the required weight, do the nutrition part and get my date.

    Why do they make some people loose weight before a weight loss surgery?

    OMG! 60 lbs?! If I could just lose 60 lbs that easy then I wouldn't bother with the surgery. I didn't have to lose any weight. But I have heard of people having to lose 20. Never 60. Wow

    I am excited and nervous.....its all starting to feel real....I wish I could just get it done so I wouldn't have this anxiety about the surgery itself. It doesn't help that I read everything about this online lol
