My surgery is Monday March 11, 2013. I am 395lbs heaviest I have ever been in my life. Im am scared and nervous the closer it gets. I need to do this for myself and my family. My wife had gastric bypass on Friday so we are gonn go through this togother. Its gonna life changing experience for us both and we are excited.

Good luck! You won't regret it. I'm 2 weeks post op today. I've lost 15 lbs since the surgery and a total of 40 since August. You'll do great!

It will be so much easier since you are doing it together! My hubs had the bypass in Sept and I was sleeved in December. It was hard waiting for my own surgery; I felt bad eating regular food in front of him. Everything is SO much easier now that we are both doing the same thing. We support each other, workout together, and because he went first, he was able to help me figure out the first couple of weeks so I could get into a routine before I went back to work (he's retired). You won't regret it and you will definitely be glad to have a "buddy" to go through it with.
