I now have my surgery date ***warning*** graphic video
I will have a Sleeve Gastrectomy on September 9th. I joined an adult weight management program at my hospital last October with the goal of losing 100 lbs. Alas I haven't and so the only option was surgery. I will have 2/3 of my stomach removed leaving me with a banana shaped stomach. Two weeks before the surgery date I will start a liquid protein diet. Wish me luck.

I wish you all the luck in the world! I know that this is a fairly scary time for you, but I think you will do well...
Take care!
These procedures are pretty routine these days, so you're likely to come out of it sore--but well, and well on your way to reaching your goals.
