Hi everyone I am scheduled 11-12-13 @9am. I'm very excited/nervous/but ready. My insurance is paying for my surgery so I had to go through a 6mo process. I started at 275 6mo ago now at 265. I am on bp meds and my cholesterol is high and I also suffer with acid reflux. I'm ready to be done with the surgery part of this. I've only been put to sleep once for a very minor surgery so lil anxious about that. I have had 3 c-sections and have a pretty high pain tollerance so I hope that plays in my favor. My 1st goal in this is to get off my bp meds and level out cholesterol numbers. My next is to lose 115 lbs. I really enjoy looking at everyone's pics and reading inspiring stories. Thanks everyone for sharing ur journeys.

Hi Sissy,

I wish you the best on Tuesday!! I just had surgery on Monday 11/4/13 and like you was very nervous and excited. I was on oral meds for diabetes and bp and am no longer taking the diabetes meds and will be off bp meds soon. Will keep in touch.
