Hi everyone this is goldson1 from SC and I just got my approval and surgery date. April 30th. I am scared witless, but I don't know why. I have been researching this procedure for over 2 years and I know it's what I want to do, but when the nurse gave me my surgery date, I started crying like I was on extreme home makeover and someone said "move that bus!"

I have been visiting this site for about 6 months now and I love all the good vibes, and positive encouragement you guys give to each other. I also like how if someone starts getting lazy and slipping, you guys give them what for!

I look forward to talking and listening to you all.

Thanks

:tt1:

congrats on your date I have got my date too it's the 18th of April. I didn't cry I was very excited and had the biggest smile on my face when my doctor gave me the date. I think once I get closer to the actual day I will start to get nervous.

I know you said you have been lurking for a while, but I would like to officially welcome you to LBT. Congratulations on your surgery date! Please let us know if you have any questions. Good luck to you and keep us posted!

it is life altering, so it's natural to be scared, but this truly is one of the best things i've done for myself - ever.
