Well..All the waiting is finally over! Tuesday 6:30 A.m. I report to the surgery center. Not really sure how I feel right now. Mostly excited about changing my life, but still not sure really wrapped my head around all of this yet.

I'm mostly concerned about the loose skin. I lost 100 pounds two years ago but I lost that way very slowly. No issues with skin being loose then. I have made at least one trip to the gym and talk things over with a trainer. Planning to go and develop a program with the trainer so I can follow it daily and hopefully avoid the loose skin.

Anyway here goes nothing! Wish me good luck!!!!

Good luck - trust me its all worth it.

Anyway here goes nothing! Wish me good luck!!!!

How about a prayer?

@NY: Thanks Bro. Definitely will be worth it! Enjoy reading all the success stories and look forward to some of the other treats the guys are talking about! Lol!

@Mick: absolutely. Never turned down a prayer.

Good Luck and will say a special prayer for you and your medical team..

Best of luck Bro, Keep us posted !!

Good luck!!!! It is a life changer!!!

As far as loose skin I was freaking out about it also, but so far so good. I also lost 120 lbs. slowly before and had no loose skin, and this time I am down 105 lbs. so far with no loose skin issues so far.

Thanks bellalulu, Taylor, & SoCal. Appreciate the best wishes. It's been one hell of a day. Surgery is done! Just trying to get my heart rate higher and my BP to drop.

Surgery was a blur. Once the anesthesia hit I was out cold!!!

Feeling ok so far. Good drugs!! Got up and took a walk and will take another before night is up.

So far so good!!!

The more you can walk the better you will feel. Hard to believe when you are there but true.

@@Bigboy76 welcome to the other side!!! hope your doing better with every passing minute.
