I'm so excited! I've lost 9lbs in 5 days. I haven't had any nausea or reflux; however, post-op pain has been pretty bad. I'm convinced that if I can do this, EVERYONE can do this! As bad as it hurts, as many times as you think, "what have I DONE to myself?!?!", as many times as you have a little craving, just remember it's worth it. You WILL become a new person.

your story is very encouraging. I'm having my surgery on tuesday 3/22 and i'm very nervous.

I was very nervous, too. But, just know that you can do this! It's hard, but you are about to take control of it. Congrats on your surgery date!! Keep us posted.
