Hi all

My name is Adam, im 26 and from the UK

I stumbled across this site as I am due to have a gastric bypass on the 28th of this month. In the last week I have achieved the following:-

Given up smoking
Cut my calorie intake from 3000 to around 600
Started walking more

I am very scared about having this operation, but I can see all the help you have given each other. I look forward to being one of the success stories of the site.

Thank you very much

Adam

Welcome Adam to the TT family. There's plenty of support and positive vibes here! This is like my 2nd home away from home. I do not know where my mind would be if I did not have this forum in my corner.

Good Luck...Ms. Ready!!!

I have been messed about for 3 years by my GP - ive even had to have 2 psyce evals. Around a week ago I spoke to a surgeons PA and she got the op pushed to the 28th - I've just started my low energy diet.

thanks for the welcome, there are so many fantastic people here, ive been looking at posts while I was waiting for my acceptance.

I'm sur ethings will be fine. one thing ive found ts that im not a teary person; I went into my local supermarket and just couelnt cope.

It's okay to shed a tear here and there. This is an emotional time for anyone that experience this. I think what is so exciting for me is to think I can do things I have never done before. That right there is the MOST uplifting thing for me. See even though I have been obesed all my life, I am really perfectly healthy but it's not guarantee that it will remained that way. This is why thie surgery id going to give me the opportunity to "LIVE". I am glad that you finally is getting your opportunity and there's a JUNE Stapler thread that you can join and post your date. Ms. Lynda keeps up with all the dates each month.

Since today is Sunday, I'm assuming you aren't having surgery today, and it's tomorrow. I wish you peace and speedy healing.
