Default About to Start my Gastric Bypass Journey..

For starters, i just turned 21, my current weight is 344 and my heaviest weight was 390(Feb 2007). I have a very severe case of spinal stenosis witch means my spinal is very narrow and causes alot of pain, and i got pinched nerves and herniated discs ontop of that. I had spinal surgery to "fix" this but it didnt work, So now my Doctor wants me to get gastric bypass to get the pressure off of my spine and releave some of my pain in my back. So this monday were starting the process of me getting the gastric bypass surgery, and i couldnt be more happy..

Ive lost almost 50 pounds on my own since my back operation, and me and my doctor both know if i want to be healthy and live pain free i have to have gastric bypass.

Anybody have any tips or any suggestions at all for a person about to get this process started?
