Hey everyone! This is my first post. I've been checking out this message board for the past few days during the first week of my pre-op liquid diet. My VSG surgery is 1 week away on the 22nd.

I just wanted to pop in and say I'm so encouraged reading over your posts and stories. I was quite nervous for what happens after surgery but the more I read, the better I feel. Glad to be a part of this community.

Thank You!

Hope this is a great experience for you. I'm very happy with my weight loss so far, and I hope the same for you. Might you be previously related to a certain Hutt answering to Jabba? Can't wait until FRIDAY!!!! Good Luck bro.
