Hello I am new here!
My name is Annemarie I am from Long Island, NY and I am having WLS on my 29th birthday....this site seems really great....I have so much anxiety as the surgery dates gets closer....any and all advice is greatly appreciated...thank u and I look forward to traveling this life-long journey with you guys!
FIrst off, CONGRATS and good luck! I know you will be just fine. This is an amazing journey and so worth it! Everyone here is very helpful and willing to offer support if you just ask. My suggestion is to take full body measurments of neck, arms, legs (calf and thighs) bust, belly and anywhere else you can think off so you can compare it when you start losing inches and not pounds. Good luck and your surgery date will be here before you know it!
Congrats on getting your surgery date.. it'll be time before you know it! Anxiety is very normal.
My only advice would be to relax, take some before pictures and measurements (things I wish I had done), follow your pre-op diet, and go to as many support groups that you can. Really talk it over with your family so they understand what's going on, what you can and can't have, etc. Order some protein and vitamins so you have them before the surgery and don't send your DH to GNC while you're in the recovery room because you're not sure if yours had been delivered yet.
Feel free to ask any questions.
