So I don't have a date yet, but I've done all the testing just have to meet with the nut. I can't help but think that me being overweight has made a bit bitter. I really hope with the WLS that I am a happier person. I put in a happy face everyday but on the inside I'm thinking about how I am being perceived because of my weight. I truely hope with the surgery I can be a better version of myself. So looking forward to it!

Omg same here! I catch myself getting MAD at things that shouldn't bother me! Gosh my surgery can't come fast enough!

I wasn't bitter prior to my surgery, but I did suffer with some depression. My body HURT all the time and doing anything seemed like a lot of work. I always put on a happy face, but inside I wasn't happy. I was "drowning" in my weight and I felt like I was too far under Water to swim to the top. I didn't want to die or anything, but I sure didn't look forward to the future. Now, I'm almost 7 weeks out and down about 44 pounds and my whole outlook on life has changed and more importantly, my whole body doesn't hurt like it did. Today, I look forward to the future. Heck, I can't wait for it.

Good luck to you!

I think we will be better versions of ourselves for sure.
