So I was going through one clinic & they had more pre-op qualifications then I thought I could handle, come to find out this other clinic aren't asking for nearly as much so I will be able to have my surgery sooner!! I can't wait I am so excited!!! I started this process last year and was 3/4ths the way done all I had to do was lose 10% body fat and move on to the surgery!! However I got cold feet needless to say I had decided I wasn't ready!! But now I am super ready and I can't wait!!!! I don't have as much pre-op qualifications so it will be quick from this point and I am so happy that I am ready for this step finally!!

Good luck to you!

happy that ready for this step finally!!

@@Sleevie.Nicks

that is great

i've heard others get cold feet right before surgery

then they stop the process

no one should have this surgery if they are too scared, nervous

not sure of having surgery

so you stopped the plan for surgery

then after awhile you realized you really want to go ahead

sounds like NOW you are ready

keep reading the boards

you'll hear about lots of things you need pre-op and {PO)

discussions about things you hadn't thought of

questions will be answered

you ask your questions

make sure you are prepared for the big day

read, read, read

look into some books

ie bariatric surgery for dummies

they also have a cook book

look at U-tube

flood of information allll over

buy Protein shakes

don't buy too many ahead of time

taste buds change

what you might like now

possibly you won't like PO

happy you "came to your senses" and are proceeding with surgery

good luck

There's a sweet release that can never be matched when you make the decision to proceed with surgery, and then realize suddenly one day that magically it has slipped over from possibility to reality!

You are well on your way to a whole new life full of promise and happiness. Never look back because your glorious future lies ahead!

Thanks to everyone for the support and knowledge!!!!
