As of now Im pretty much scheduled for surgery in late December but do not have concrete date

Im very excited .. but very nervous and scared

how will my friends act?? Im a hairdresser and feel as if Im well liked in a small community.. a precious little fishing village in Ga

Im the female town clown..will they still like me??

AM i going to look old and saggy... Im 48... I'm tall and carry my weight pretty well

As all of you I have failed at dieting... I want to feel better .. do the things I want to do... wear the stylish clothes a hairdresser should wear... be more of a grandmother to my children... and the list goes on......

Anybody have feedback about these feelings i have????

I am right there with you. Even at 3 years post-op, I can still remember how scared/nervous/excited/scared.... did I mention scared? :-)

Not knowing how my friends/family were going to react when I told them I was having surgery.

And what did I know about being "normal" sized? I have 40 years of being the "fat guy" at work, at home, and around my friends.

The good news is, when I woke up from surgery, I wasn't instantly thin! :-)

It took me 18 months to get to what I call "normal" size.

So I had plenty of time to grow into my new body and get used to my new way of living.

I can tell you, that it's sooooo much better after the weight loss.

It was the best decision I ever made.
