I am going to the doctor next week for the upper GI check, and then on December 15 I get to meet with the surgeon, and anethesiologist ( I know I didn't spell that right). One part of me is very excited, and other parts are nervous about being under the knife. I never even had a cavity before so this is going to be a little new to me. I get to wear a "Johnny" suit for the first time, so I am not looking forward to the drafty backside. One thing I am hoping for is that this site can help get me through the tough times. Thanks to all of your stories on here, it seems like i am making a great decision, and look forward to talking with you all.

Take a pair of PJs or sweat pants and good luck.

The GI looked fine. Yay...I think I drank a gallon of Barium and those "fizzies" blech!. I am starting to get a little nervous, but am ready for a new lifestyle where weight isn't always on my mind.
