Well wishes!

Brickhouse...how about the women, who weight is the same as mine! But look three times bigger!

I can't wait to NOT see women on Biggest Loser who are smaller than me, at their heaviest.

Jesser,
I understand where you're coming from. I knew I would only get negativity from my parents, so I chose not to tell them. I realize you don't have that option, so I can only suggest that you remember you are doing this for you and your child. Not for your mom or anyone else. This is all about you. It will be one of the few times in your life you have permission to be completely selfish. I don't think you are likely to get support from her on this one, but we (your virtual friends) understand and will support you.
As for your choice of surgeons, I know I did what you are doing. There are many excellent surgeons to choose from. I made a list of what I felt were the top 10, then narrowed to 5, then 2. I prayed about it, agonized over it, pros and cons, and woke up one morning knowing who I wanted to be my surgeon. I went alone, so I wanted to be in a hospital where I knew I would get 24-hour care and would be in a hospital "just in case." I loved having the hospital bed, the nurses at the touch of a call bell, and not having to move to another facility. For me, all these things and so many more made it worth the money I paid. Was it more than most surgeons? Yes. Was it worth every penny for my own peace of mind? Absolutely. I have lost almost 70# since my surgery on 8/31. I had no complications, and feel great.
Wishing you the best in your decision. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about my experience.

That is great news! It would be so hard to mentally adjust to a delay, especially in the middle of this pre-op diet. Good luck...I'll be watching for your posts. And don't forget your heating pad...

Girls to be on the safe side get some gauze and tape. I didn't have enough. Also extra panties, I had to wash some out, after a week of liquid going in that's all that comes out is liquid! Other then that you guys are in the right track, pack light.

Ok so I am March 22 with Garcia and will tab this post thread so you can keep us updated and to make sure we take everything we need and do not under or over pack!! So exciting!!

All will be well.

Well wishes everyone...
