i am really about to do this!

Full of emotions. I have decided to take the plunge and get WLS. My surgery date is July 28th. I am 31 yrs old and weigh..OMG I am really about to type out my weight...my own mother doesnt even know this number....deep breath...341. (anxiety attack coming on:crying:). My weight went out of control after being diagnosed with thyroid cancer and my thyroid was removed. Any advice out there is greatly welcomed!

Hi there - Congratulations! Its a tough decision to make, but you've done the hard bit and faced your demons. Just think - if you can get a grip on the panic pre op eating (which is hard I will admit) and saying goodbye to foods which you'll probably still be able to eat long term anyway, then 341 won't get any higher, and will only come down!!

Good luck with the journey - we'll look forward to reading thru your blogs and sharing it with you.

Hello. I know what you mean by full of emotions. Even now when I have made my decision, I still ask myself am I making the right one. I always come back with a YES!!!! It's for the best. I can't do this on my own. From what I've read on this site the sleeve is a great tool. I think you will be very happy about your decision. Good luck.
