I had a lot of the same worries when I first started this process. But I know the good benefits will make it all worth it and the other things will work themselves out. I also didn't tell anyone about my decision for several months. I just didn't want to hear any negative comments. Now I am telling everyone and it just doesn't matter to me what people think because I know for me this is the right choice. I met with my surgeon today and have completed all pre-surgery testing. After work today I went and bought all my vitamins and protein and other supplies. I am excited and ready for September 11th. Keep posting!
