I'm new to the site, been reading on for a bit (4 months). After waiting for what seemed like an eternity(3 months) all systems are go. I just had the pre op meeting and did the pre op registration today.

I am looking forward to a time when I will be a smaller guy.

That being said, I am quite nervous. I do understand that it is to be expected as this a pretty serious surgery, things can go wrong.

I'm just kinda rolling through stuff.

I'm hopeful but at the same time I don't fully know what to expect and that scares me.

I've talked with doc, and I fully understand the process and what's involved. He also did add that in my case my bmi is 60. 493 @6'4". So will be a few extra concerns he has.

I'm confident in him, and he has great reviews. I think it is the "dark side" turning its wheels in my more than anything.

Just wonder who else has gone through this.

I guess I am on my own. Thanks letting me know.
