This will be the best decision ever! Your only regret will be why didn't I do it sooner:-) Trust us, just relax and enjoy the new adventures ahead of you.

Good luck to you. I'm still in pre-op but that was super easy. I had blood work, chest x-ray, spoke to nurse and nut, and had cardiac clearance. Took about 3 hrs total. Almost passed out during blood but that's always my case. Good luck and don't stress about tomorrow

Thank you both! I needed that very much. Maybe i can sleep more soundly! Lol

I was very scared starting preop too. You are about to become educated on what this is about and if YOU can do it. It is scary having our food taken away cause most use food to some degree as a coping tool.

I almost backed out twice. The first time was me telling my doctor I will go home and try for another year to lose the weight on my own. He said "go ahead, you will be back in two years with another 50 lbs and then you will have comorbidities. The reason we fail on diets is it takes too long to lose the star weight and we become too hungry".

The 2nd time was a week b4 the surgery, I told myself I don't care how many people know I am about to do this, I change my mind and I am not going to do it. Later that day I heard my God, my higher power tell me Yes It is the right decision to do it. Now 7 1/2 months out and 92 lbs gone I AM SO THANKFUL I walked thru my fear & did this. I was ready, 5 yrs earlier I made a decision that I was not ready. I still needed my food and I knew I would gain it back. NOW was/is right for me. Good luck
