I havr my first appointment with my surgeon on August 2nd. It will be the 5th month of my supervised diet. I have lost 25 pounds already. I have my psyc eval s scheduled and I dont have to do a sleep apenia study either. I am getting excites but I found out that my husband will be deployed in October, but I don't know what day my surgery is going to be. I am hoping he will be here when it happens. I am nervous, scared, excited and ready to make this life style change. Any advice for a newcomer like me? Thanks everybody for being so supportive.

First off yay you!!!! Tomorrow marks my 2 week post op and I could not bedew excited ! I am already seeing such a huge difference ! No advice just wishing you the best!

surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 323 GW: 150

What worked for me was that I followed EXACTLY what my surgeon wanted me to do ... pre-op AND post-op.. I ate what I was supposed to eat, I exercised when I was cleared and have had no issues what so ever. Follow doctor's orders and you will be fine. Good Luck !

Thanks guys I am really nervous!
