I will say after reading all the post on here I have really and truly got discouraged...I have 2 months to go before I have my paperwork sent in to have my surgery...I am now hoping I have took all the correct steps...I dont wanna have to start all the way over again 6 months is a long time...I have fluid on my brain I have been this way since 06 when I was diagnosed with pseudotumor cerebri...my weight is keeping this fluid on my body...I dont wanna go blind again omg that is one of the worst feelings in this world...I just wanna get the weight off so that I can move on with my life....GOD IS IN CONTROL IT WILL ALL WORK ITSELF OUT!!!
