    Thank you for being so honest. .. I'm also having the same feelings. I bring myself back around with the reasons why I HAVE to do this but then before I know it the fear creeps back in

    Hi Mel! I'm from Illinois too. Can I ask what part? Trying to decide on a surgeon. Glad to hear you didn't have to do 6 months of supervised diet.

    I am hoping my surgery will be scheduled for September. Right now I think it will be for the last week. I am going to Las Vegas in November so I really want to be a good six weeks post surgery before I go.

    Consider what you will gain; instead of what you are giving up.
