Two more visits with my dietician and then will submit for insurance approval. Hoping to have GBS before the end of the year.

Started a meal replacement drink for breakfast and multivitamins about a week ago as well as other recommendations from my RD. Trying to start changes now and prepare as much as I can for post-op life.

Some things I have read on this forum scare me and others are helpful/encouraging. Looking forward to positive interactions on here and learning more to help me succeed on my journey.

Good luck on your surgery and let us know if you have any questions.

Don't let anything scare you. We are honest here about our struggles. That is why we get upset when people say that weight loss surgery is the "easy way out." It is hard work. Good luck on your process and surgery.

Thank you! It has been a little scary but also good to read about people's experiences. Sometimes I read too many of the complications posts all at once and get overwhelmed. There are risks with the surgery and there are risks without the surgery. I need to make the best well-informed decision I can for myself and not allow fear to make my decisions for me.
