Surgery Date 5/9/16

Hi everyone! I'm fairly new to this app and it's my first post.

I started this journey in January 2016 and finished my last requirement on Thursday. My surgeons office called me on Friday with a surgery date of May 9th and start pre-op diet on April 25th.

I was set on having the sleeve, but my surgeon explained to me that due to my severe acid reflux (GERD), he doesn't recommend it. He suggested the RNY. I've researched it and decided to have the RNY.

I'm super excited to start this journey, on becoming healthier!

Anyone else having the surgery on or around this date?

    I WISH I could quit Facebook because it really does take up too much of my time, and time I certainly don't need to spend sitting. However, I would feel completely cut off from my family and friends as most of them seldom talk by phone because they put everything on FB! It's a sad sign of our times. I am envious that you were able to.

    Yeah don't be too envious. Since I got rid of it I have like no friends. My fiancé and my family are the only people I hang out with. I don't mind, because I'm a loner anyway. But sometimes I do mind. *shrugs*. It's sad that Facebook is depended on for staying in touch.
