Hi all! I'm scheduled for VSG June 3 at Pompeii Surgical Center in Tijuana. This comes after years of fighting with Kaiser. My highest weight was 330...I'm 5'5".

I just did my labs to get my A1C levels. They have to be below 7. (Current 6.5)

Next I have to quit smoking. Which has been challenging. But I can't have nicotine or THC 30 days prior. So I'm trying to quit now.

I struggle with vitamins they taste yucky to me...but each day has gotten better. I'm on barimelt but would be willing to try better tasting ones.

I'm looking for "friends" who have walked this road.

Hello and welcome to this forum. You will find everyone here so supportive and helpful. As an ex smoker I know how hard it is to quit, it is worth it if you can. Good luck and go get your new you
