Hello everyone, I am Dave, having VSG on Dec. 2 of this year. Nov 15th is my appt with the Bariatric team @ UPENN to begin the preop diet. I have already lost 19 lbs going into the last month. Starting weight 261 now 242. I am hoping to get some real life advise and a heads-up on things I can expect from this forum.

Welcome. Ask lots of questions, do lots of research and be prepared. It has been a wonderful journey for me and just do what your dr and nut say and you should do great! Once again welcome and look forward to seeing your progress!

Welcome to the losers bench!!!!!! LOL
