    Default 21 days to go!

    Hi. My name is Amy and I'm scheduled for my sleeve on 12/12/2014. The ticker just told me that was 21 days and I feel my heart in my throat a little bit! I've fought my weight problem since I was very young, and have never really won the battle. I may have held off in a skirmish or two, but my weight has steadily increased over the years. Activity is the only real thing that's ever helped me lose weight, so I have some nervousness about the surgery - will it be enough of a tool to restrict my intake so I can drop some of these pounds? But I know I have to try. I have a young son at home, and I need to become healthy for him. Looking forward to finding support and suggestions from you all, and I appreciate the time you take to connect and respond!

    Welcome to the forum. I think you'll find here that the answer is a resounding "yes" when asked if this surgery will help you lose weight. As long as you follow the surgeon's orders and don't go back to nasty old habits and slack off, you'll do just fine. It is just a tool, but it's one helluva tool. Feel free to ask any and all questions you have here on the site and get as much feedback as you can so you can go into this with the utmost confidence. Best of luck to you!
