Hello folks... Just wanted to introduce myself a little... Had surgery 4 days ago (2-1-07). I can't help feeling a little quilty about having had the surgery. I am 32 with a BMI of 37 and high blood pressure . I have a lot of muscle mass so I carry my weight better than most. Feel like I could of lost the weight on my own, but also know I would have just gained it back. Feel like there are more deserving people than me that should have this done. I did this mostly because I want to look better and I have the money now. I should mention that I am an E.R. Nurse and know the health benifits but, Damn it, I want to look like I did before I quit smoking. My question is should I feel quilty??

Hello everyone!! this is my first post... I'm having surgery in 7 days (Feb 1st). Start liquid diet today. I can't wait to get back in shape!! I'll be the first person that I know of to have the surgery. I hope this works, with out major complications. I am an E.R. Nurse and I really want to inspire others. This is a great site. I've gotten a lot of valuable information here. Good luck to all... I'll be sure to let you all know how I am doing...
