Hello! Newbie here...
I've been lurking on this site since the beginning of the year when I started considering this process and today learned my insurance approved for VSG and am scheduled for 4/12!
Even though I haven't really posted, I've gained a lot of from the veterans on this board and just want to say thanks.
I'll start my pre-op diet on Tuesday, which is essentially 3 protein shakes and a lean cuisine per day.
Welcome to the forum. I hope you find it as supportive and informative as I have.
Weight loss surgery was a life-saver for me. I lost 225 pounds and went from a BMI of 60 to a BMI of 24. I never imagined that I'd be so successful but I was able to get to and maintain a normal weight. I hope you will have an equally successful outcome.
best wishes,
Carol
