I've done a lot of additional research on WLS issues but am not qualified to give medical advice over the internet. I'm happy to share my research with you, but you should see an acting professional if you want real medical advice.
Welcome! Good to see a nice guy here ;)
You're already well on your way. Work it!

Hi and welcome! This is a great site with SO much helpful information. OH.com has continued to be my go-to resource for everything regarding the VSG. I had my surgery May 28th (2 months out today) and I'm feeling great. It seems hard in the beginning, but the days will soon fly by and you'll wonder how the heck you made it to the 2-month mark! You'll do wonderful! Congrats!

This is my first post also. Just getting started in the process. I had my meeting with Behavioral and will be seeing the nutritionist in August. Reading all the posts and information on this site affirms that I am making the best decision for ME. It is time to have the body that matches my mind. My mind is active, healthy and joyful. I am working on all aspects of myself so that I can be mentally, physically, and spiritually ready for when I get my surgery date.
NJNiceGuy- congratulations on having your surgery. You have given yourself a wonderful gift!
