I really hope things work out for me to have surgery first thing in 2012 and I hope that surgery goes off without a hitch!

My biggest goal for post-surgery is to wear a bathing suit and swim with my son in summer 2012! I think that will mean at least 60 lbs...

What else am I looking forward to? Wearing my way back down through my wardrobe to size 14 clothes!! Why is it I've saved all my thinner clothes and can't wait to donate the fat clothes? I swore to myself I'd bought my last fat pants earlier in the fall.

very well put!

im praying to be sleeved on dec 19th or 20th so my wishes for 2012 is to be off my meds, lose enough weight to feel good in my skin, & fix all the issues that my weight has created!

My dream for 2012 is to find peace with my past. There's a song by Rascal Flatts called Moving On that expresses it far better than I can.

To all of you young folks out there who are trying to decide, do it! Find a good surgeon and take a leap of faith. Your life will be totally different for this one brave move.
