Hello,

My name is Liza Jimenez, I am 30 yrs and I am schedule to have surgery on 06/11/2014. I am so nervous and excited at the same time. I would love to make friends on here, receive and give advise.

Welcome Liza.

There is a ton of good advise and support on this site everywhere. I can read the threads for hours and come away 100% more knowledgeable!!

My surgery is June 11 also!We can be buddies! :-)

Welcome Liza, the time will just fly by.

Awesome! Sounds good to me!! I actually have 3 other friends who are going to have surgery the same day as we however, I don't think we have any idea what to expect, other than saying "LETS STAY POSITIVE". I did "My story" yesterday on my profile and it helped me a lot. I think I am going to do a daily blog, just to help with the anxiety I feel I cause myself.

Welcome, Liza. Congrats on making it this far. Keep reading and learning as much as you can.

You will do great!! :)

Does anyone know about Compression Shapeware? I was advised to purchase one however I'm not sure if I should buy it now or wait until after my surgery. if anyone is interested the website is www.divascurves.com.

Welcome Liza. I might try the shapewear when I reach goal and if floppity skin bugs me. It is not required in my bariatric program. Since you are new, you can explore the search bar by using keywords to take you to posts concerning that topic. It will keep you out of trouble for hours on end.

Hi and congrats on your choice to be healthy, this is an exciting time for you this forum is an excellent place to gain knowledge and to meet new friends as well as vent share ideas as well as progress. Good luck I have my surgery in three days so I know exactly how you feel.

Congrats and good luck....I'm three months post op and wouldn't change a thing! The best thing I have ever done for myself.

Hi Lisa!!! So how are you handling the nervousness?? I did "my story" and I felt better, so I decided to do a daily blog.

Well, so far I've just been trying to live life as "normally" as possible....working, going to graduate school, working out, keeping the new eating guidelines in my process (proteins, eat slow, no soda, etc). Thanks for the blog idea. I think I will do that!!
