I literally only found this forum yesterday! I cannot thank you all enough for the amazing information you provide. I spent so long on obesityhelp.com but it seemed more focused on gastric bypass. I have found my peeps!

I am having surgery on Thursday with Dr. Paya in Northridge. Thanks to all of you, I have all the information I need and feel confident.

THANK YOU!

Good luck with your surgery, Prepster! Come back and let us know how you're doing. :biggrin1:

Welcome and good luck on Thursday!

That is great.....check in after the surgery and let us know how you are doing.....Congrats.....

I had my surgery last Thursday and I feel great! It's been five days and I feel close to 100%. I went to the movies this weekend. I went to a BBQ yesterday (brought my own soup!), off pain meds, walking around a lot. Feel great!

Thanks all for your thoughtful words and great advice!
