From: I'm scared

I'm Scared,

3 mons. from now when you see that initial weight loss you will be saying you are so happy you made this decision to take your life back!!!!! I am a little over two months post op myself, and the only thing have to cry about is I have lost 42lbs and my favorite outfits no longer fit . I had to box them up and give them to my best friend !!!!! Bittersweet , but one day, in the not too distant future, I will find the joy of buying clothing that only has a single digit size!!!!!!!

So Pray about your decision, but read as much as you can at this site, I myself have found it to be so useful and informative!

Best wishes for your upcoming surgery!!!!!!

I think it's safe to say we all feel this way before surgery. I know I did. I'm only 2 weeks out and I don't regret it. And I had a pretty bad hospital experience.

No one can make this decision but you.

There's a great book. The Emotional First Aid Kit: A Practical Guide to Life After Bariactric Surgery by Cynthia L. Alexander. It's worth reading.

I encourage you to have faith in your decision and know that all things will work together for your good. I am almost a month out and I was apprehensive myself but after losing almost 25lbs in three weeks and clothes that hung so faithfully in my closet are now being put to good use, I know I made the right decision. I know it may be scary to venture into the land of the unknown but I promise if I can do it, I know you can to. Just think, when next summer comes we will have a lot to show off on the beach besides our bellys...
