I have been going through all the requirements for months and last week I got the okay from my insurance company and received a surgery date from my surgeon. So many emotions and feelings. Excited, anxious, frightened, happy, sad and all while being confident in my decision. Im not afraid of the discomfort or hard work ahead, but terrified of the worst case scenario's they keep telling me. Im a mother of two small children (2 and 4) and am so worried. I know everyone feels this way, but I don't want to back out from fear. Anyone else feeling like that or having surgery in July like me??? Would love to have some peeps to talk with along the way....

My surgery was July 16th.....I am doing well now... it was helluva rocky in the beginning but I'm am down 81 lbs from 273.6. I'm So happy although yes there are ups and downs.....I Feel Alive!!!

I officially met my wl goal today. I was shooting for 185, and actually weigh 184. I have moved from obese, to overweight, to normal for the first time in my life. Tears of joy. I cannot express how awesome I am feeling right now.
