Hello ladies and gents.... My name is Jasmine I'm 22 turning 23 July 3rd. I am scheduled for the gastric by pass July 9th my current weight is 259 I've lost 3lbs my surgeon requested I lose 10 lbs before surgery..... I actually came across this forum while googling ways to prep myself for surgery. Its very comforting to read so many stories from people who are going/have gone through this same process. Although I have a some what good support system at home I look forward to making new friends on here and sharing my journey with everyone. My mother had Gastric by pass surgery 9 years ago and is my main source of a support system.

What opened my eyes mainly to want to lead a healthier life was the very unfortunate passing of my father last year..... He passed away from heart disease. In my family there is a long history of heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. I honestly do not want to go down those paths.

I look forward to chatting with you and hearing your stories and hopefully getting some nerve rocking questions answered.

Welcome & yes we help each other here. This is my only support system.

Welcome to our on lime family
