Just starting the process

Hi I am a 27 yr old female that is wanting to have weight lose surgery and I am scared to have it done.I am going to my first consultation this Wensday . My doctor prescribed the surgery for me. I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, acid reflux, and Diabetes! Those are just the major things wrong with me! I am really excited about getting started. I have been researching this procedure for about 1 1/2 yrs now. I need someone who has gone through the surgery already to help me go through this process. [email protected]
