Hi Lisa, My name is Nancy and I too have an August 14th date. I live in Indiana but I'd love to email each other. I am excited and scared and can't make up my mind which one to be from one minute to the next. I am looking forward to one year from now but the prospect of surgery and the after care just make me scared. I want to be thinner and I've struggled all my life. I try to tell my family and friends but they just say oh you'll do great. Think of all the weight you'll lose. Yeah easy for them to say. One has to have lived as an obese person in this world to know why we are taking this drastic measure. I think it will be a good thing and I figure the more people I talk to the more advise we can give each other and share our gripes together. Email me and lets chat. Sincerely, Nancy [email protected]

Pam, my date is also August 21st, but am not using the same Dr. as you. I live in Al and am using Dr. Les Miles. Good luck to you!!!
