Hi Everyone, I am super excited to start this new journey to become healthy . I was skinny as a teenager and in my twenties. But after several back and neck surgeries, i started putting on weight. I have two adult children and my husband who are very supportive.

My EGD is tomorrow 9/25 and surgery (Gastric Sleeve) is scheduled for Oct 2. My surgeon is Dr. St. Laurent in Cypress Texas.

If anyone has any helpful hints that they would share with me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Wow, not far away for you at all, hope it all goes well for you

Congrats and good luck!

Sending prayers and a hug across the miles, I was an Early September, even with its trials it is SO worth it. Would never go back, I am many years older to have done this, can't say I didn't know about this, I knew, I just bought into the Too Old, Too Broke-down, No Surgeon would touch YOU and the most hurtful Move to one side, You are blocking a Younger More Worthy Person.
But my Clarity moments came and I am so Thankful it was not TOO LATE for ME!???

Thank you for the encouraging words. I started my pre-op diet today. 6 more days to go!!!

I start my two week pre-op diet on Sunday, good luck with yours!

Thank you, I wish you best of luck, Hope we can stay in touch,

My surgery is not until November so I don't have much advice to give you but good luck!

And almost October, you could say today is October eve!... . ,IS EVERYBODY READY?????

SO READY
