4weeks exactly....

Tomorrow I start the low carb until surgery date! I am so full right now and loving it. Excited to begin this next stage in my life. I was thinking 40 was old to get this surgery. Now I feel, it is just my beginning. Here's to a new start and healthy life!

Surgery 2/28 I am a little scared, but also excited. I was supposed to have the sleeve but my surgeon really feels RNY is much better as I have a hiatal hernia and Gerd.

I'm 60 and ready for my surgery on the 20th!

Is everyone excited? How are the diets going? 3 weeks to go. Getting antsie.

Following my strict low carb diet. Constipated as heck! Ouch! Down 11 pounds with two weeks to go. Anticipating this surgery and praying for the best. I read some of the post op issues people have, and my fingers are crossed.

Hi Juliz 1972! I am all ready for my surgery! Date is this Friday and kinda nervous. Worried about my passion for food. I bought tons of the Atkins sweets and living off them :(. I have clear liquids the day before and that is it. I have gained tons of knowledge from this site and people sharing their experiences. You can email if you'd like. Cory1060@gmail.com. My name is Teri.
