New to fitness pal, waiting on weight loss surgery

SteveWebb7

Hello everyone,
I am involved with Mission weight loss program in Asheville NC and am awaiting weight loss surgery. I am leaning towards being sleeved becuase I have absorption issues now with calcium and magnesium due to a parathyroid that doesn't work. I hope to have surgery in Oct. or early nov. I am following the diet and exercise plan they have set up for me and only need to drop about 6 more pounds to have the 5% body weight reduction they require. So far I love the program and everyone I have worked with have been helpful. After this month I will only have one more regular Doctor visit and one more diet class to attend before I see the Surgeon. I am very excited about the prospect of getting my weight off permanantly. I have fought this battle my whole life and have been a yoyo dieter. Best wishes to all.
