So i found out last week that my surgery date is the 29th of march...i'm so excited i can hardly contain myself...it's been a long journey. I started the process back in july of 2010....it seems like forever. In one respect the length of time has really assured me that this is right and i'm ready for it. I"m not sure if any of you have had doubts...and to this day i still think what if i fail? what if it doesn't work for me...the curse of fatness...i hate it..it's such an emotional disease. The hardest thing now is waiting...I have one girlfriend who had bypass a few years back...she understands this process and she's so excited for me...everyone else is just weird. I've been very open to my close friends and family..and a few more....the only other person that is excited for me is my mom...she's a huge support...she says...i can't wait till you get skinny, your so beautiful and just stunning when your thin.....Yes i LOVE my mom...!! =) Any way i'm just here to make friends and get support...and hope the next two weeks fly by!

Congrats serna6! My surgery in on the 31st of March! I think waiting these last two weeks out is going to be the hardest! I'm excited! Like you, my mom is super supportive. She's seen me struggle throughout the years, and just wants me to be happy and healthy!

Congrats on your date to becoming a new healthier you! These two weeks will fly by.

My surgery is also MARCH 29th - I can't wait to start being a loser!! I started the process back in November and at the time it seemed like it would take forever for the months to pass, but here it is and it did seem to go quickly. Good luck on your surgery!!
