I feel calm and ready, despite some nerves. I am ready for the postop pain and changes. I am just afraid of not making it through surgery or having a complication after. All of the normal stuff I guess. I am holding onto my "Why" like nothing else right now. I will never forget the first time I heard about this surgery, I was probably like 10. I was watching the story they did about Al Roker on NBC. I remember watching him as he lost weight and being so excited for him. I wish I hadn't gotten to this point but I am looking forward to getting my life back and being the person I always knew I could be.

Listen, soon enough we'll all be or have already been where you're at today. Just breath and keep thinking positive. Think about how happy you were to watch someone you don't even know slime down... now magnify those feelings by a thousand and that's how you'll fell about your own transformation. Good luck Bari-friend you got this!!!
