    Default Newbie Here - Surgery scheduled for 9/30 with Dr Hernandez

    HI Everyone,
    I am new to this board. I am having my surgery in Mexico on Sept 30 with Dr Hernandez. Still a little nervous about the lifestyle change though I know this will be better than continuing on the path I have been on. I currently take medication for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and arthritis. Hoping to get to a healthy weight (normal BMI) and not have to take meds if at all possible.
    I look forward to getting to know all of you and sharing our experiences.
    Sheri

    ✨Welcome!✨

    You've definitely have come to the right place, I found reading older threads extremely helpful when I first joined the forum.

    Congratulations on your decision, and know your life is about to change for the better as reported in 99% of most cases. For me, the risks of surgery were much lower than if I had stayed on the same path.

    As you post questions or blog about your journey you will find a fountain of support and sage advice from veteran sleevers, as well as those in their early stages.

    If you haven't already watch Dr. Matthew Weiner YouTube channel for what to expect before/after surgery.

    This surgery has been the best decision I have ever made, it is by no means an easy way out, it is also NOT a ✨*Magic Wand*✨ that will make weight magically disappear. It takes mindful every day work to stay present and use our permanent tool to be better and healthier versions of our current selves.

    Sending you the best of wishes!

    Welcome!

    It's normal to feel anxious/nervous/scared/excited all at the same time. This is a life changing decision!

    This is hands down the best decision I ever made for me and my health. My ONLY regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

    Best of luck as you embark on your journey!
