I'm having surgery on Wednesday in Pasadena, Ca! Everyone keeps asking me if I'm nervous but I'm totally not. I'm perfectly calm, excited if anything. I know without a doubt that I'm doing the right thing and starting my life the moment I arrive at the hospital. Good luck to all of you!

Good Luck to you, too!! Are you nervous at all? It's going to be great and you'll be on the other side and losing!

Well yes I am a little. I am sure that its normal jitters. You know, the fear of the unknown. However, there is a sense of calm about it all too. I have made my decision and whatever steps I have to go through to meet my goal, I am going to take. I so look forward to the time that I can go and buy something to wear and not have to go to the plus size department and buy the biggest size they carry. I am sick to death of that feeling. I want that stone removed from around my neck and the fat off of my body. Eh Wallah my rny. Again, good luck on Wednesday, Nancy

No more plus size clothing!! Will that be awesome or what?!?! I recently went into size 22, not a pleasant experience for me. I can't wait to throw my size 20 and 18 jeans on. THEN, I can't wait to go shopping at a regular store and find good bargains like my friends can! I'm not nervous but I know it's going to be tough, especially the first month. I am a little apprehensive about other people's reactions. You see, I haven't told anybody outside of my family and closest friends. I'm a teacher and don't plan on telling my kids but I know most will notice and say something. I'm not sure how to field those questions but by telling part of the truth, "I've changed my lifestyle, eating and exercise habits..." We'll see how long that works.

Good luck to you Crystal, I just said a prayer for your surgery. Blessings, Jaime

Thank you for the prayer, we all need it! I see you're flying across the country to have surgery in Mexico. What lead you to that opportunity?

Crystal, My insurance has an exclusionary clause and will not pay for any type of WLS, so I am self pay. Surgery in Mexico is about 1/3 of the cost of surgery in the US, and the hospitals are cleaner and nursing care much better. Jaime
