@@losing100# it will be here in no time. start preparing now! pre-op diet?

@@losing100# - my surgery is also 11/17 and my pre-op diet starts 11/3 as well. Just got my insurance approval in the mail today! Just over one more month to go!

@@edodd Yay! Congrats! Would love to stay in touch as we start our new journey!

@@losing100# absolutely! A little about me - I'm a 27 year old teacher from NH. 5'3" HW 244, CW 226. I am having a VSG on the recommendation of my foot and ankle specialist. I have had 5 ankle surgeries that have readily increased in complexity and resulted in chronic pain and instability. In the hopes of saving my one remaining peroneal tendon on the right side/prolonging the need for additional orthopedic surgeries, I have successfully gone through this process and am ready for the life changes ahead!

@@edodd Yay! Here is a little about me. I am 35 and 5'8, I am a mother of two toddlers and two teenage step kids. I have had back surgery and the added weight is making my back worse. I really don't want to have to go through back surgery again. My doctor thinks this will help with my back and my plantar fasciitis in my feet. I just want to be a healthy weight and be able to run with my kids!
