I agree! You will be healthy and happier! I'm 49 and going from band to gastric bypass on Wednesday. My mother who has had health issues due to weight wishes she had this opportunity, she is now 85 and very active. She has been very supportive and you can do this!!! Go for it! we are hear to root each other on!!!

Best wishes to you!!! It will be good to have surgery as you need to be healthy and with the new baby here the more!! Welcome!!

My pre-op went ok and doing the liquid diet - not as bad as I thought it would be. Surgery is set for the 13th. My last day at work was yesterday - spent the whole day with my mom and went shopping. This weekend is for my husband and daughter. I am stressed and scared but I am more worried about my husband - you can see the worry and stress in his face. He is my anchor that keeps me calm. He knows that this time it is higher risk than the first attempt but we both know it is necessary. Reading these threads keep me encouraged - thank you all.

In the end everyone will be happy! My husband is also worried, but I tell him this will benefit not only me, but the family too! I will be able to walk without panting, lower blood pressure and most of all live longer and healthy!!We are surgery twins! Mine is on the 13th of August as well! I realize I just responded to a old post a few minutes ago so I apologize! Lets keep in touch!! My name is Gabriela by the way! Nice to meet you!

Thats great!! Best wishes!!
