I can understand how you're feeling. I haven't been scheduled yet but I am scared. Scared of what can go wrong when chances are nothing will. Scared that all the things I enjoy, the little pleasures will never be something I will get to experience. But the thoughts that scare me the most are never seeing in my oldest son graduate high school, helping my daughter get ready for prom, or teaching my youngest son how to drive. I would give up all the little life pleasures to be front and center for every event and experience in my kids life. I want to be healthy and alive for them. That thought makes this whole process worth it. Only you can make the right choice for you. I wish you the best of luck.

Good luck MsLeann.

I hope it's soon. I'm so nervous. Good luck.

Pets become our family. Sorry for your loses. We lost our Samson last year. It was hard and my husband didn't want another but a I fell in love with Maverick. He didn't replace Sam, he reminded us why we loved him so much.

Thank you. We have two. Bella and this handsome guy Maverick. Bella is more calm because she is older. But this guy is a hugger. 10 months old and stands taller than me.

Now you have me worried as well. This is my future offender who is always after me for hugs. Great Danes are just giant lap dogs .

Growing up, I was never overweight. I was actually very fit and athletic. When I had kids, everything changed. No matter how much I worked out or dieted, I couldn't loose weight. I tried everything. All the latest diets, prescriptions, workout equipment, tests, and nothing worked. At first I didn't want to do the surgery. After a lot of research and talking to my husband , I decided to do a consultation. It was great information but I still wasn't sure but figured I could continue with the process and can change my mind if I wanted to. The truth of the matter is, I've been scared as I think everyone is at some point in this process. But after finding this site I feel a lot better about my choice to do this and I have my last appointment before being scheduled for surgery on 1/25. Excitement still hasn't hit me, but I think once I get passed the surgery I will start to be excited. Thank you all for sharing your stories. It truly helps us newbies.
