It's Tuesday night and in just a few days I'll be flying to MX alone. My emotions are all over the place. Like most I am a freaked out and excited and overwhelmed. It's so hard to focus on work or anything else. My kids are young and I didn't see the need to worry them and tell them before I go. So on top of everything else, I feel terrible about telling lies about where I'm going. I'm the worse at it. My boyfriend had been pretty supportive until the last few days when it became real for him and I think he's freaked out too. He keeps saying I don't know what I would do without you. Which is sweet and nerve tracking at the same time.

I'm excited to start this new journey and pray all will go well. I keep thinking or daydreaming of a day that my weight issue doesn't control my life anymore. I've been overweight my entire life...yes entire life. I was a 10 lb baby and on my first doctors supervised diet in the 2nd grade! I've battle with weight issues ever since. Everyone on here is so inspiring! Please pray I will have the same experience.

Anyone going to at Dr. Aceves around that time, would love to hear from you.

Wish me luck!

Hi, my surgery is Monday the 10th w/ Aceves. I have 5 children so I understand where you are coming from. One minute I can't wait to get this done and the next I think WTH am I doing? I'll be glad when it's over!

You will be recovering on my 1 year sleeveavsry with Dr Aceves. I'm down 111lbs and so picture yourself giving courage to someone when you are a year out. Sitting close to your goal, loving life. You can do this, it will be the most amazing ride of your life!
