Looking good!

Thank you all for your kind compliments. They motivate me to keep going strong.

I was sleeved on Jan 21, 2013 starting weight was 298 down 48 pounds so far. Before seeing these pics side by side I would have considered myself a "slow loser" but now; Wow.....what a difference. Best decision ever...excited to continue on my journey.

Thank you all for your wise words of encouragement. When I posted this thread earlier, I truly felt like backing out but after reading All of your comments, I get a feeling of empowerment and courage to go through with it. Ttammara: thank you for making me realize that I count with all of you as my support.

I set a date for my surgery in January. But truth of the matter is that I have a bad marriage which causes lots of problems, I have no support and don't know if I should go through with it. I don't want yo postpone my surgery since I did that once in 2010 for the reasons stated above. I tell myself that I need to do this for me regardless if I have support or not but truth of the matter is that support is key for success. What do I do? I fear I won't be successful because of all the emotional stress I am under HELP!

Don't let your fears decide your faith. You are almost there.

I had my appointment with the surgeon today and instead of feeling excited, I am terrified..... Feeling confused, not sure if I should go forward. Anyone out there who has felt the same?? HELP

I finally have my appointment with the surgeon this Friday after months and months of jumping through hoops. For all of you who have been there done that, what questions should I ask?
