Wow, 2 days, best if luck and keep me posted on ur progress. Hope u heal quick.

Good luck to you too Aligayle! I'm nervous, but super excited!

Thank you all so much for your input. In response to some questions: Yes, i am a generally happy and upbeat person, which is why my husband is worried. I have done some 'crash dieting' before seriously restricting my calories (HCG, Etc) and I guess I got moody.
I have done a lot of research on this and after failing at everything else on my own, I feel that this is the ultimate tool to help me lose the weight for good. I am not overly concerned with the diet, I already drink a Protein Shake for Breakfast each morning and often for lunch as well so I'm okay with the shakes, I have a lot of information on what sort of foods I can eat and when and feel ready for all of that. I just know sometimes the emotions can take over when you least expect it and want to go into this knowing a little about that.
I feel super excited to take on this challenge with the help the VSG can give to me!

Hi All,
I am still seriously considering having VSG done. My husband has some concerns he wanted me to look into first. So here are his concerns, and I would love to hear people's true experience/feelings.
Obviously, his first concern is the safety and any complications. He is a family doc. and I would be going to Mexico to get it done...so he knows all about the risks, but is leaving the decision up to me.
His other concerns (these are what I'm most interested in getting responses about) is how people felt emotionally after having it done. He is aware that I have a love for food and that it is a stress outlet for me. He is concerned that after I have it done, I may get headaches (from the low cals), and I may feel irritable, tired, etc. We have 4 small kids at home, and I am blessed to be a stay at home mother.
So, how did you all feel? Was it hard to sever that relationship with food and still maintain a happy attitude??
Thanks in advance for your feedback
