Thanks to everyone for the support and knowledge!!!!

There's a sweet release that can never be matched when you make the decision to proceed with surgery, and then realize suddenly one day that magically it has slipped over from possibility to reality!
You are well on your way to a whole new life full of promise and happiness. Never look back because your glorious future lies ahead!

that is great
i've heard others get cold feet right before surgery
then they stop the process
no one should have this surgery if they are too scared, nervous
not sure of having surgery
so you stopped the plan for surgery
then after awhile you realized you really want to go ahead
sounds like NOW you are ready
keep reading the boards
you'll hear about lots of things you need pre-op and {PO)
discussions about things you hadn't thought of
questions will be answered
you ask your questions
make sure you are prepared for the big day
read, read, read
look into some books
ie bariatric surgery for dummies
they also have a cook book
look at U-tube
flood of information allll over
buy Protein shakes
don't buy too many ahead of time
taste buds change
what you might like now
possibly you won't like PO
happy you "came to your senses" and are proceeding with surgery
good luck

Good luck to you!

So I was going through one clinic & they had more pre-op qualifications then I thought I could handle, come to find out this other clinic aren't asking for nearly as much so I will be able to have my surgery sooner!! I can't wait I am so excited!!! I started this process last year and was 3/4ths the way done all I had to do was lose 10% body fat and move on to the surgery!! However I got cold feet needless to say I had decided I wasn't ready!! But now I am super ready and I can't wait!!!! I don't have as much pre-op qualifications so it will be quick from this point and I am so happy that I am ready for this step finally!!

Clearance racks when dropping sizes are addictive.

Enjoy this journey! It's simply amazing. Is it easy- no but well worth it! I'm down 96lbs since my surgery 3.5 months ago. Best thing I've ever ever done (well minus my husband and kids). The confidence I have now- huge! I have bones in my body that I didn't know existed- well at least not for the past 8 years! Haha. But seriously soak this process in and enjoy the ride!

Congrats! It is very exciting.

Tomorrow is going to be the 1st time I get to actually sit down and talk to my surgeon! Just wanted to know if there was anyone out there that is just starting their process now!!! Support is always welcome!

thanks so much!! I thought long and hard and did a lot of research and I am ready!!!

Good for you jumping back into the game! Better to back out than to have any lingering regrets. You're going to shine. Congrats!

Went to my first nurse appointment!! I am excited but I am also anxious to actually go through this journey!! Because last year I started this journey and 3/4ths of the way through I got cold feet!! So I am going through it yet again and I am sticking with it!! I am so excited!!

Hi. I'm new to this journey. I've had my first visit with the PA in my surgeons office. She explained about the various surgery that could be done. I chose to do the sleeve. She sent me home with a lot of literature. I am looking for others that have traveled this journey. I'm so scared and excited about this!

Yes! Feels wonderful! Went to Old Navy a couple days ago just to try on things for the fun of it because I could!

My appointment is Monday!
