Just a quick update Jen--yesterday I bailed! Can't believe that I let my anxiety get the better of me...I had a frank discussion with the doc and nurse and decided that I will postpone until September-when things are more settled for me. I don't do waiting very well at all-it gives me too much time to think. How are you doing? Are you still losing regularly and loving it? Katherine

Jennifer, thank you so much for your very kind words. As time goes on, I'm so scared. I don't think that I will be able to do it. I'm too wrapped up in the clauses about death and possible damage etc. that could happen, and then I'm reading about having this 'golf ball" thingy happen and fills not allowing any food in and spitting up and oh my gosh...I just want to be normal again and look great doing it. I think this waiting period is going to blow up into a full blown panic/anxiety attack. Congrats to you though for going through it and losing the weight-that must feel terrific! Katherine

Hi Everyone, I am new to this and although I am enjoying reading the many postings, I am finding that I am really getting nervous about my upcoming surgery and how worth it it is going to be! I have a surgery date scheduled for June 9, 2006. I'm worried that I will have a huge struggle with this and in the end fail. Does anyone know how to access one of those ticker thingies that you can use to record start weights etc.? Maks
