My surgery is scheduled for November 3rd and I am now on my 2 week pre-op diet. I have SO many people trying to talk me out of the surgery and telling me I don't need it. I have so many questions and I am just praying I make all the right choices as I have tried everything previous to this decision. Any and all suggestions and advice is appreciated. I have Multiple Sclerosis so this decision was for health reasons.

ooo exciting time. So tell us about yourself since you have not filled out your profile... Weight, height, surgery you chose, is insurance paying or are you self pay?

Congratulations on your journey so far. You will soon become the person you always wanted to be. Many of us, me included, only tell our nearest and dearest because of this. Many people think they know the ins and outs of this surgery but may have only read of one bad instance. This is a very safe surgery and complications a few and far between. Some nay sayers are just jealous or don't want you to change because of their own insecurities.

Ask anything you want, somebody on here will have had the same problem
