Hi all

I am 27 319lbs and 5'9.

I have been approved and am having my surgery on June 18th.

I am hispanic from New York. I'm pretty nervous and have a million questions worries and doubts.

How will I get enough water and protein?

Is it for certain that my skin will sag?

Is any one else struggling with trying to keep it a secret? I'm going into overdrive here.

this is a great place for answers as well as emotional support--trust me...almost everyone is nervous pre-op (I was very nervous) and I still have some anxiety about getting in enough protein and liquids...most days I do OK, but I just try to take it one day at a time..I have seen many posts about sagging skin..it seems that the younger you are, the more resilient your skin is after weight loss...I think it depends on genetics, too, and how much weight you lose...welcome!

Hi & welcome! I hope u find what you need here. There's so many great ppl willing to answer ur questions and give you peace of mind. I'm preop ... 27 from ca. Still trying to figure stuff out for myself, but otherwise enjoying learning about everything.
