I will most likely schedule my surgery for mid October. I need time to submit FMLA paperwork and get coverage at work or I could go sooner.
I wasn't nervous at all in the beginning, but now as things are getting closer to actual surgery I'm feeling a bit nervous. I think I am more worried about the changes my body will go thru and what I'll looo like in the end than I am about the surgery itself.
My HW 256lbs, CW 238, GW 130. I'm 5'6.
Praying things continue to progress smoothly and quickly....
