Hey there! I am new here, and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Amber and I am 26 years young. I am having my DS on May 8 with Dr. Kemmeter in MI. I am currently on day 3 of my pre op diet. Its going good so far. Probably because I am so excited about surgery. I had a starting weight of 330, but in the last month and a half I brought it down to 315. My process for surgery was very quick. Because my BMI was above 50, my insurance waived the 6 month diet plan. I only had to do a few things, which took just over a month, and now I am 2 weeks away from surgery! I look forward to reading peoples stories, and getting advice from people who actually know what I am going through. My friends and family are great support, but they don't know what it is truly like to go through this process!
