  2. chrissie, thanks for sharing your experience. I wish you a lot of strength to deal with these emotions, I'm sure it will be difficult but I know we will be celebrating in 6 months! Also your dog reminded of an old dachshund friend I miss a lot. He is super cute, congrats
  3. I am with you Carey and JenKMi! My surgery will be at 6 am tomorrow and I'm pretty nervous right now! Wish you all a speedy recovery and I hope to share our experiences this week.

  5. Congrats for the lbs lost, such an encouragement. This forum truly is a life saver, I was very scared and the more I read the more excited I get.

    July Sleevers

    Wow! Congratulations to both of you! More than 20 lbs each in such speed make me very optimistic. Mine will be next Tuesday, but still counts as July though.

    Sex After Weight Loss

    Thanks for the incentive! It's nice to know that after 2 weeks life will be 'normal' again. I'm 4 days before surgery and looking forward to it.

    Dr. Nick On The 31St

    Hi, I'm also new around here and my surgery will be on July 31st, next Tuesday. I'm very anxious and a little scared. It was very comforting to find this forum today with so many people talking about their surgeries, sharing stories and good advice. Best wishes from Rio and good luck!

    Feeling Ashamed....

    Hi everyone, my surgery is next Tuesday. I have struggled with the decision for almost two years and I also avoid telling people about my surgery because most of my friends just don't get it. They tell me to go on a diet or start running lol. That's pretty much what I have been trying to do since I was 18 (and I'm 33 now). So, actually, I don't think I'm ashamed of my decision but I also don't feel the need to have this talk over and over again and try to convince people of something I have decided for myself. My husband and my parents support me, my therapist is ok with it and I hope everything will be just fine. See you all on the other side. xoxo
