After 4 months tomorrow is the day. Feeling nervous about surgery but know I'm making the best decision for my health. I made the decision to finally do something after not fitting on a ride at six flags. It was embarrassing for both me and my daughters and I knew then something had to change. I've been big so long and have gone off and on diets for years. It is very reassuring reading all the success stories posted by everyone and I look forward to adding my own in the near future. :smile:

    Thank you so much for the positive words and congratulations on your progress! Your progress is inspiring!

    I lost 70 before surgery, because it was almost 9 months from the start of my process (my insurance required 6 months in the program before they would even schedule the sleep test, EGD, etc.) until I had my surgery. I have lost 84 since, and I feel amazing, and you will too! Please keep us all posted on your progress!

    Congratulations and best of luck! You will do great! I am 10 days post-op. I had the same fears. I must have asked my husband 5 times before they wheeled me in for surgery if I was making the right decision. He continued to encourage me. I know I did. You can do it!

    Keep us posted!
