I have started this awesome journey that I know will change my life forever. On June 16, 2014, I finally started this journey with my husband by my side. I am kind of nervous but I know it's the best decision I can make for me.

June 16, 2014 - First visit to Peachtree Surgical and Bariatrics in Atlanta, GA.

June 28, 2014 - Started the required 6 months weight loss program

July 31, 2014 - I met with the nutritional eval, had EKG and PFT.

August 28, 2014 - Stress Test Scheduled

Everything is moving right along; I know December will be here before I know it. I am just taking it one day at a time and looking forward to that day.

Blessed and Highly Favored

started this awesome journey that I know will change my life

@@Toodie1974

being nervous, stressed, excited are all comon emotions prior to WLS - and even post WLS

glad you have support from your hubby

any/all support you can gelt is very helpful

continue your research

read these boards, they are very helpful:)

maybe experiment with some of the important rules of WLS

if you smke - you must stop!!!!

if you are a big coffee drinker - prepare to slow down

eventually your doc probably will allow some coffee

all docs/NUTS have differen rules

only listen to you medical peoplke;)

"mosts" docs also don't allow straws

practice Water rules such as

don't ever, ever drink during meals

de not ever, ever drink for about 45-60 minutes after you eat

many other basic rules you can look "forward";) to

practicing some things will put you ahead of the game

December WILL be here before you know it:)

good luck

Toodie,

Time will fly by and your date of surgery will be closer than you expect. CONGRATS to you with your current process. It makes a big difference when you have hubby on your side.

Blessings to you and yours!

Thank you all....I am always researching about vsg...I think the not drinking while you eat is going to be the hardest....but I am looking forward to that challenge....yes my husband is the best....he know me having the vsg will help my health in so many ways....
