Thanks for all the positive comments guys. I feel so welcome :-) I am so glad that I am actually doing something about it while I still can. I just really hope it isn't too late. I'm gonna start a new positive way of thinking from today on I promise :-) No point going into all this negatively so its time to get POSITIVE! Thanks everyone x

Hi all, I'm brand new to this forum but have been looking for somewhere like this for a long time. My names Emma and I'm 23 years old, from Ireland. I've been reading through all of your posts and just want to say congratulations to everyone on such amazing weight loss results. I myself am booked in to have a gastric sleeve done on the 22nd of this month. I have all pre op testing done and passed everything with flying colors, except for my sleep study which revealed sleep apnea so I am using a CPAP machine for that. Basically I came here just looking for advice and support. I am terrified that something will go wrong during my surgery because I am so big. I am starting my pre op diet tomorrow so hopefully should have lost 20 pounds by my surgery date. Are there any members out there who were as big as me and have a success story to share? I guess I am just really looking for reassurance because I'm suddenly filled with doubts since getting my surgery date yesterday. Anyway thanks everybody for reading, I hope I get to know more about you all on this site. Love Emma
