I had lapband surgery in 2009 with no luck and had it removed in April of this year. I am having gastric sleeve done this month. At my heaviest 2 weeks ago I weighed 305. I have been doing the preop diet for a little over a week and I am down to 293. I am getting a little nervous but I am ready to live a healthier active life

So my surgery is next Tuesday and I had my final appointment yesterday with Dr. Strickland. All of my preop tests looked good, he answered all of my last minute questions and I am just staying on my preop diet until next week. I am nervous but I am so ready for my new life. I have adapted many of the changes already such as giving up soda, no drinking while eating, no alcohol, and better food choices. I feel like this will make it easier on me afterwards.
