  1. So my surgery is on July 8th, and I am quite young, and Im so scared because I dont know if I am making the right decision!? My only hesitation is that I am so young and I have the rest of my life. I want to be healthy and thinner so badly, and Ive tried EVERY diet out there (trust me). But the thing is everyone says this isnt a 'diet' its a 'lifestyle'. Does this whole mental game ever get easier?? thanks xo -Chloe
  2. I have my operation in two weeks and I am so nervous, I can't tell if it is the right thing to do. Im young and scared, but I can just imagine what amazing things could come out of this and lifestyle I would lead. Does anybody have any major advice or success (especially with younger patients)? Thanks!! xo
