My surgery is scheduled for 1:30 this afternoon. Fear and self-doubt are rearing their ugly heads. What if this doesn't work for me? A lifetime if unsuccessful yo-yo dieting has left me wondering if I'll ever get my weight under control. But I'm hopeful that this tool will help me get to a healthy weight for the first time since elementary school.

Today my amazing and supportive husband is going to take some dreaded "before" pictures for me, as well as my measurements. Hope to be able to post some "after" pictures in a few months!!

This forum has been a great source of information, inspiration and support. Thanks everyone : )

It's totally normal to be nervous... I was having doubts right up until they put the IV in my arm and wheeled me off, but I can honestly say that I have no regrets whatsoever! :D Good luck, and welcome to the loser's bench!

I was shaking and crying when I went back to get my iv. I was so scared and was feeling like I couldn't do it. I am one week out today and down 16lbs. 20lbs overall and every day it gets easier and easier. You got this.

Best luck and congrats on your new life!!!!

I understand how you feel. My surgery was last Thursday and I felt the same way. My biggest fear was not waking up. I hate being put to sleep. It is the only thing I can relate to death. Let me tell you how I get over this fear. PRAY! God I pray for my sister in the name of Jesus. Remove all doubt and fear from her spirit, guide the hand of the doctor and the other caregivers that will be taking care of her. Lord forgive her of anything she has done that was not pleasing to you. Bless her to have this new exciting start in life. In Jesus nam Amen! You will be find it is already done.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
