scheduled for surgery jan 20th, about 3 years ago went about 1/2 way though the process and chickened out and lost a ton of weight on my on and have since gained it all back plus some but getting nervous again about the procedure but know that I'll be better in the long run, the only ones that know about my surgery is my wife who is very supportive of me but I've been a little embarrassed to let anyone else know.

Just wanted to thank everyone for the support and update this post. Well I finally went through with surgery, which was a breeze all the dr's and nurses were great, the anesthesiologist was the best he sensed I was really nervous and just before going into the operating room gave me sleepy meds and the next thing I remember is my wife asking me if I wanted jello and spoon feeding me lol. The only thing that sucked was that it took me awhile pee but finally did and the soreness for the first couple of days but feeling better ever since.

Congratulations!
