*VSG Pre-op* Less than 1 week until surgery! 

Welcome to the WLS family! I had VSG 6 years ago and I basically do your pre-op diet as my maintenance diet. If you keep your carbs at 20 or below you will definitely prefers your diabetes. It is so much easier to do when you don’t have much of an appetite. I’m excited to follow you on your journey!

Looking forward to following your journey--welcome to the 'Tubes! I hear a lot of myself in you--especially that I had just accepted being overweight my whole life. It will be strange for you as time goes on to see yourself differently, but you sound really well prepared. Wishing you lots of success! XO

Here is why you should continue to make videos! Look at how stinking cute you were all the way back and how far you have come. Be proud my friend be proud!!!

Welcome! Wow your journey so far really echoes mine. I look forward to sharing in your journey. It's such an exciting time for you.

Just found your channel today. I look forward to follow your journey. I have one more appt next week for my upper GI and then my checklist is complete. Praying I can have surgery before my birthday in March. I am a type 2 diabetic and have been for 10 years

Nice to make your acquaintance, Grace! I wasn’t as strong and brave as you at the start of my journey so I just recently started a RU-vid channel. I loved getting to click back and see your tremendous progress! Way to go!

Hi Grace! Just discovered your channel and happy to subscribe. My surgery is a week! Looking forward to catching up on your videos.

Just got my vsg nov 8 2018 , everything is going well thanks for the vlogs

Congrats to you Grace on your decision to change your life for the better!! I am 48 and I’m 5’2” and started on Jan 2 2017 at 344.6. I had traditional DS surgery in Feb and prior to my latest surgery on Dec 19th for a hip replacement revision I was 168 (I have gained swelling and fluid weight from the surgery). Great intro video to you and your journey. This next year will bring so many changes physically and mentally. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to this community, it’s amazing!

I'll cheer you on! I'm scheduled for Feb. 27th so I hope to be joining you on the journey soon.

Hi Grace. I really like your video. My VSG surgery is in 3 days. So nervous!! Glad I found someone who is going through this around the same time as me so I can know what to expect. Going to watch your 2nd video now!!!

Hi Grace I am a week out for my surgery. Thank you for sharing

I’m starting from the beginning and you’re honesty is deeply moving.

You’re stats are the sameish as mine! I have sleeve surgery in Mexico in Nov - gonna binge your vids/journey

Hi Grace. Nice to have found you. I am pre-op sleeve, just waiting for "the phone call" (have already jumped through all of the hoops). This was a great video!! Great presence. I'll be following your journey.

Hi Grace! I just found your videos via Ruthie and MysteryGuest1948. I realize you’re five months post-op now, but I still wanted to add my belated welcome to the WLS community! I’ve watched your first and last videos so far (will get to the others soon) and the transformation is amazing! Way to go! I look forward to watching it continue.

Iv just started watching your videos 😍😍 you should be so proud! I'm wanting to get gastric band surgery but have hypoglycemia so need to see if I'm able to :)

Yay Grace just found your channel and going to Binge watch loads of your videos! I'm just at the start of my journey and currently 380lb and BMI of nearly 57!

New subbie looking forward to catching up with ur journey!

I love you r vids what do u use to edit and insert words!

I have started making videos about my VSG journey

Hey there! We’re staring right around the same time (I’ll be 10 days behind you). Best of luck and can’t wait to eat to know you better. What are you using to edit?

Question! :) Did you have your surgery at UMC in New Orleans? I'm from Laf and have been unsuccessful in finding out reviews/experiences from that hospital. Sounds like you had a great experience with your surgeon & team, so I'm hoping it was there!
