Hello I am Sarah and I started this process over two years ago. I first started with insurance then lost my job and went to the whole Mexico thing. Research so much that I thought I knew everything however that was not true LOL. I am now back to the insurance process in the USA and almost done witht he approval process. This has been very stressful "HURRAY UP AND WIAT" LOL

I have my date set for 12/31/13 what a way to bring in the new year. I am really scard that I am going to fail this process and be fat for the rest of my life. Everyone say that I will do fine but I just am worried...

Does anyone else have this same fear?

Yes! And im 8 weeks out, I seem to be a slow loser and my job doesn't help but I can only follow my plan, try my hardest and my body is gonna do what its gonna do

Btw Happy New Year to you!

I have my surgery scheduled for New Years Eve also! We will have to do an "air cheers" to each other that afternoon P.S. They moved it up one day to Dec. 30th!

You will do great! I know I was scared I would be the one it wouldn't work for....but it does!! Best if luck to you! What a great way to ring in the new year!!

I was scared but so ready for surgery. You will do fine, keep a POSITIVE attitude, do what the surgeon tells you to do and you will be OK. Good luck and Happy New Year !

Congrats on your surgery date first of all! Second of all, RELAX! You will not fail if you follow your surgeon's plan! It sounds like you have jumped through hoops to make this happen, so you obviously WANT it. You have also done your research so you should know what to expect. I am fairly sure that EVERYONE has the same fear of failing when going into such a big surgery because we have all failed at dieting before.

It is important to remember that this is only a "tool" and you must continue to do your part!

the weight WILL come off and you will be amazed! I wish you the best of luck and remember that we are here if and when you need some support! GOOD LUCK!
