Hello everyone!  My name is Rose and I'm having surgery on April 6th at Tufts Medical Center in Boston, MA. My surgeon is Dr. Shikora. Is anyone else having surgery there? Thanks!

I saw your original post on my email. I'm self pay, just researching for that long. Tried getting the state to pay for bypass through vocational rehab and did diet and exercise. Lost 60 lb but now have gained 30 back so I'm pretty determined to have the surgery now. :)  Are you doing a pre op diet?

Good for you! I researched my options for about one year and finally decided to go ahead with the surgery last November. It wasn't an easy decision for me to make and I feel I made the right one. I am on a pre-op diet and I have lost 22lbs so far. I was only required to loose 13 but I kept going; the more I loose the less chance of complications during surgery.
