That is a famous line in Funny Girl, my favorite movie. I am new to this message board, in fact I'm new to message boards all together. I am on the road o my surgery and have all my lab work done. My endoscopy is scheduled for May 1. My surgeon wants me to lose 40 pounds and I am down 12 as of this past Saturday. I only weight self on Saturday mornings. I am ready for this surgery and have lots of support in my personal and professional life. What I do not have is anyone to talk to and ask questions about pre and post surgery that has been through this process. That is why I am here. I 48 years old and need to lose a lot of weight to be healthy. I have been doing well eating and not missing the sweets and heavy carbs I used to eat. I hope my weight loss pre surgery continues as it has so far. Thank you for listening to me and for helping me find my way through this journey.

Hi! I find the best place to find information and ask question is the Post Op Gastric Sleeve Questions & Answers Forum (or the pre op one)! They stay pretty active and I have learned tons there.

See my username? I love Barbra! As a matter of fact, my parents wanted my name spelled just like hers on my birth certificate, but the hospital messed up and spelled it the more traditional way (B A R B A R A). I'll be 48 in June

Welcome, and keep us posted! Good luck to you!
