june 22nd, and i am scared/excited
well i am ready to go. because i am a very independent person, i never thought until now that i should reach out. but i realized how afraid i am, not of pain, but of being able to be strong enough to do this.
and i am doing this without belief in a higher power, so i feel very alone
i know i will need a lot of support, so here i am
Everything is going to be fine. I too am having my surgery on the 22nd and tons of things are running through my mind all at the same time, which is probably why I am in the midst of a pretty bad migraine. I am avoiding people. I am just reflecting in myself. WE are going to well! I cant wait to hear updates on your surgery.
You may not believe in a higher power, but believe in your doctors, your body, your life. I am here if you ever just want to tal****[email protected]. Take care.

Hi Janet
Your not alone.. see we are all going to go throught this together. I too am scheduled for June 22nd. After persuing this for over 3 years and having been obese all of my life. (yes even in elementary and highschool ) Its a new beginning for us all. We may have made the decisions for different reasons.. but the main thing is we are doing this for ourselves. How wonderful for us to have this opportunity for so many will never have such a chance to find the freedom this will give us. You will be in my prayers.. All of you who are scheduled this day.. as well as those to come. Take care, have faith and remember to look at all the positive things that will come from your courage to take this step. I have and I am happy I am doing this for ME!
See you on the losing side!
