  1. Good luck as your surgery date approaches! Im in the very early stages. I meet with my family doctor this week to do the paperwork. Best of luck and be sure to keep us updated!
  2. I'm going to a Bariatric Surgery Seminar tomorrow night and am excited, nervous, anxious, but ready to do this. I grew up as an overweight child and have always been an obese adult. I think my anxiety is due to the fact that I will look different, but will I really be different or is it possible to stay the same inside, just with a different shell? I know this is a question I need to address during my psych consult, but I'm wondering how many others felt this way prior to surgery. Thanks, and good luck to everyone! :wub:
