So, I waited a long time for this day to come. Tomorrow is surgery day. I was super excited for a while, now I'm still somewhat excited, but also bummed because I feel like there is still a chance I could do this myself. I am mourning food already. I know I will follow everything to a tee as I have these past two weeks on pre-op diet, but still nervous I won't lose the weight. I'm nervous about long term effects since this surgery is so new. I have tried so many times to do this myself like most others on here, and couldn't. So nervous that if I didn't go through with it, I would be miserable and regret not doing it. I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and was just diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I think of my perfectly good stomach, and wonder if cutting it out is the right thing to do. Has anyone else felt this way?

Hi, I have been looking at this website since I started with the first seminar June 2013. I was so excited after the seminar, that finally I have found a way to permanently lose weight' instead of the yo-yo diet. I went thru all the hoops of my insurance and had a surgery date of Aug 14th. I went thru the 2 week all liquid diet and the night before I panicked!!! I thought could do this myself since I only had 70 pounds to lose. Wrong!!!! Almost 2 months later I am 5 lbs heavier than i started and now have a new surgery date of Oct 5th. For me after a diet its too easy to go back to eating what I was that put me here in the first place. Good Luck on what you decide!
