M going to start this everyone who is in November add your date and where your from . I'm crystal I'm nov 6 I'm in Toronto Canada

Worm I think we share that fear. I worry I am not as strong as some of these other success stories on this board but I am hoping to benefit from all the great advice on here as well as leaning on new friends on this board. I don't know anyone who has had this surgery so this community is great. You seem determined and I know you will do awesome.

Thank I the closer I get the more try to stay away from google. How do People feel about telling people that they r having surgery. I have not told a ton of people but feel like it will be harder as I get closer and I hear people say they got a lot of negative reactions

Dotted, I'm trying to stay away from google too! It has certainly scared me. I've only told my close friends and family. I haven't really had any negative responses. Most just ask why and say I understand and support me after hearing my reasons. My friends and family are so protective that they just want to make sure this wasn't a just because idea. I've only had two reactions that made me know bring it up any further... A coworker was being nosey and noticed I was reading a book on my nook about WLS and decided to give me his unsolicited 2 cents about how if I'm thinking about it, don't because he didn't think I need it. (The nerve of some people.) Thank God for the support if my husband and you wonderful ladies!

Aww, crstalww! We're all praying for you! Everything will be okay! Just breathe, hun! It will be over before you know it and you'll wake up on the losers bench.

Stephanie! I just saw we have the same dr. Dr McCloskey. How was she?? I'm at my preop now.

She was really nice. She checked me in before the surgery and after that I didn't see her at all. My surgery was on a Friday. I remember her saying that she will be in town still if she was needed but there was someone else there helping me out. I don't know if it would be different if your surgery is on a Monday.

Crstlww.....you can do this!!!!! Think about how slim, sexy, and healthy you will be this time next year!!!! You got this girl!!!!!! Praying for you!!!! Update when you can!!!!

I'm on my way to the hospital. I'm scared and nervous..... I have so many emotions. I really thinking about backing out but my husband is driving and won't turn around.
