Hello! I am having a partial gastrectomy with lap roux en Y on 6-23-2015. I had my preop dietician visit today and am kind of feeling overwhelmed. I am 188 pounds. I am having this surgery not so much for weight loss but because of a failed Nissen. I want to be at about 125 to 135 pounds=that is where I always felt best. I am a 53 yo female. I have always been just a little overweight after I turned about 30. Then at 42 I got breast cancer. I am now a survivor and dont think about that all the time like I used to. I hope to gain some support through this group because I am only getting the one dietician visit I guess. I hope I can get the extra weight off and feel good again. I had a bad motor cycle accident a few years ago and wrecked my right knee. I have a lot of trouble walking and hope getting the weight off will help some. I work as a nurse for an insurance company==VERY stressful. I hope I do well with this. I am kind of scared but kind of relieved too. I am really wanting this to help my health and make some positive health changes.
