New to this and kind of scared

I just received my welcome/patient questionaire in the mail today I go for my very first appointment of Bariatric Orientation class on June 26th did some more research and now it's all becoming real for me and I've gotten a little scared and almost want to back out because of it!

Thank you and your right just the surgery part scares me only had two other surgeries in my life though

You will be fine. Trust me. I had mine 5/30/12 lost 102 lbs from 211 to 109 and size 18 to now size 1. Let me inspire you. It can be done & with some plastic surgery you will feel great. Getting some fixing next year August 2014

Mines tomorrow! And I've never had any surgeries!!!

Oh wow that's crazy and definitely inspiring the more i learn i think the less I'll be scared but I'm also worried about having the finances to get plastic surgery afterwards

Take one step at a time. It's an emotional journey I was scared then excited then in pain then felt great!

There is a new life out there waiting for u... Go get it!!!! ;)
