Well my surgery did not happen yesterday. I've postponed my date until March 7, plenty of time to heal during spring break.

Hi there

Sorry for the delayed reply this board is slooow

No one can make that choice for you. As some on one the waiting list.. I have a lot time to do research. I just wanted to say that my reasons are.. I'm a binge eater.. A life long food addict who has been obese since. 8 years. Old. For me the choice is crystal clear as to why I need this surgery. For you, you know the reasons.  If you truly feel able to do this on your own and maintain..  Then by all means! That is a wonderful thing to change your life. If you do decide to cancel.. I would tell the surgeon Asap as there literally thousands of people waiting. Good luck with your choice!

Thank you for adding me. I really need help and encouragement as I am very confused. I have a surgery date for Sleeve on February 14th and to be honest, I have not done a lot of research which I am slowly doing now. I only met my surgeon once and the next time I will meet him will be on the day of my surgery. I don't have preoperative diet and post operative diet. I am from Canada and this surgery is covered. I lose 65 lbs recently doing ketogenic diet and this opportunity came along. I am really scared and contemplating of not getting the surgery since I was able to lose weight on my own. However, part of me still want this surgery. I started 297 lbs and I am now 230 lbs. Any thoughts?

Tell me more about the pre-op diet. Rumour has it I may be starting it on the 24th.

From what I hear should be next month.

I'm kind of glad. I've only been to orientation on Dec 7th, and hadn't been put on a pre-op diet yet.

So this will buy me a little time to sort out those details.
