Anyone Else Have A Surgery Date In July? Excited And Terrified!

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....

Just thought I would update.

I started at 274 and am now at 198! Wow that feels good! I've lost 76 lbs since July 25th, that'll be 5 months on Christmas. Was really wanting 185 by first of year but I'm good with the track I'm on.

I stalled for a Few weeks. And I hated it!! But it's over thankfully!
