I'm trying not to think about it too much, but I have to say that thanks to everyone here I feel pretty calm about my surgery on Monday. Knowledge is power and I feel ready for the changes that are coming my way. That's not to say there won't be tough days ahead, but I know how quickly the first few weeks will fly by. I'll do my best to give you all an update next week. I'm sure I'll have 20 new questions. Thanks for all of your wisdom and for sharing your experiences here. I'm proud to be joining your club

You will be a great success. You have been working on this, and stretching yourself to do more all along the way. Keep yourself healthy by following doctor's orders and using the knowledge that you have been gathering. Soon you will be outside walking again and enjoying your family in a whole new way. Keep us updated on your progress and how you are feeling.

You've got this! This will be the best decision you ever make for your health. We're here for you when you've recovered.0

Good Luck. Walk as much as you can! My worst issue was the gas pain and the minor breakdown from protein shake overload. Had my surgery 4/27 and all of that seems like a distant memory!!0

Good luck on Monday! I'll be sending good thoughts. You will do great. And I agree, walk as much and as soon as you can!0

Tomorrow is the big day! I am praying for your surgery to go smoothly, that you have an easy recovery and that you lose weight steadily. Remember, today is a great day for pictures. That ones of your whole body, problem areas, some fully dressed to show others, some not so public for your eyes only. It's the only time you will be able to take these exact photos and it is thrilling to compare later images of your body to today. Welcome to your journey. God's blessings!

I agree with @valschlecht!! As much as I didn't want to take pics, I'm now glad I did. I haven't posted them (and don't know if I ever will), but I'm so glad to have them for me. I'll also suggest taking measurements as well- I find that having those helps when the scale isn't moving, I can see that I'm still moving in the right direction. Have a wonderful day, get a good night's sleep, and good luck tomorrow!!!0

Wishing you a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. The first day is the worst - hang in there and walk, walk, walk.0

Good luck tomorrow! I hope everything goes well and you have very little pain. Please keep us posted as to how you are doing. I am still waiting to see the Dr for the first time so I have no idea what you will be going through.0
