I have my first appointment tomorrow, actually it's today in about 8 hrs, but I woke up at 1:00am and have not been able to go back to sleep. I'm excited and nervous.

So I am changing doctors, I have found a doctor were I live and I meet with him on Thursday and they don't have a weight limit with the needing me to lose 70lbs.

The Atkins diet worked good on me in 5 months I lost 66 pounds.. its a low carb diet..limiting yourself to 20 carbs Max. A day and 60+ grams of protein.....good luck!!! My Dr never told me the weight I had to lose..he just shows me my graph every visit and tells me he shows other patients my results. I'm motivated. Find a good reAson to be motivated and act upon it..you will lose a lot!! Best of luck. Please join me kn fb Bariatric friendz & supporters!!!

I heard about this tonight at the surgical weight loss support group. They were saying that if your bMI is above 60 then to be prepared ( by the surgeons here) to be put on a diet and have to lose weight before surgery. Ive never heard this before but I can understand about the risks. Just remember why youre doing this and youll be fine. Its always hard to lose weight, Hell if it was easy we all would have lost 70lb along time ago! Wish you much luck and keep us informed!
