Newbie-December 20 Surgery Date

Hello everyone! I am super excited to be on here! I am excited about my surgery because I have been waiting for this pretty much my whole life.

I have been dieting since I was 10. I have done everything from Nutrisysyem to Weight Watchers and everything in-between. In 2009 I had Lap Band surgery and actually lost more weight when they took it out in late 2011.

When they took out my lapband they found out I had an enlarged liver which now I know is fatty liver and nonalcoholic sclerosis of the liver. Two months later I was also diagnosed with diabetes. It's definitely been a bit overwhelming.

But now I am starting this journey. I know this isn't going to be an easy road but it is one I can't wait to travel!

My surgery is December 20th and I just wanted a place I could talk with others on this same journey. I know many people suggested to post here first, so now what? Any suggestions?
