I had my surgery three weeks ago. I was 267 on surgery day. Don't be nervous. The surgery is over before you know it. All I remember after bring wheeled into the operation room is how bright and cold it was and someone said something like I'm going to give you some medication to help you relax. Then I woke up in recovery. Lol.

You got this!

I'm going for my first appointment today also! You are making the right decision! We can do this together! Good Luck

Well just got through it,Dr.Boell is awesome, definitely made me feel more at ease I was completely shocked at the scale 310lbs, she ordered phetermine, and metformin. I am not diabetic thank the lord but she told me how it worked and I understood it at the time, but god forbid I couldn't explain it if you asked LOL. I will do this :D no turning back now

That's great. You're on your way!
