Hey @jsulley, Jaci. I add my welcome. So great that you and your husband are doing this together. I encourage to explore the many discussions in the Bariatric Surgery & Weight Loss support group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/bariatric-surgery-weight-loss/)

@deggerah @wr61 @susanh824, what top tip would offer Jaci? What do you wish you had known when starting this journey?

Jaci, What questions do you have as you prepare for the surgery? Will you and your husband have the surgery around the same time?

My advice would be as you lose weight, be sure to get rid of any and all of the clothes you no longer fit into anymore. Don’t give yourself any reason to hold on to them or be able to fit into them again.
Also, your body will change faster than your mind or habits. Be mindful of that and work to successfully change bad habits.

You’ll do great!
