Hello Maryem47 Welcome to the group. This group is very friendly with lots of support without judgement. I am so glad that you have requested to be friends with me. Together we can lick this over weight problem and live a healthy lifestyle. Your surgery date is coming soon and please share your experiences with me as I will share mine with you. I will not find out my surgery date until November 9th. I was told that I probably will not have my procedure until after the first of the year. It works out good for me too. I am trying very hard to increase activity and watch what I eat and chew each bite 35 times. Wow....is that had to do, but I understand it is very important for post surgery. Maybe but I am willing to work hard. Please take care and stay in touch
