Well, I'm Oct 12 too! I was scheduled for Sept 21, but I have to travel for work on Oct 3,4 and 5 so I chose to reschedule for Oct 12. I wish you all the very best and will keep each of you close in thought and will pray daily for a successful surgery and recovery for each of you. Are any of you scared to death? When I got my initial call I almost said...."Wait, I'm not sure I want to do this". Is that normal? I know how much I want it, I just wish they could gaurantee that I'll be OK...a reality check makes me know they can't do that, but it would be nice! Kerry

Thanks Danielle! Sometimes I think that's all I need is someone to re-assure me that I'll be fine! I appreciate ya! I Read your profile and I have some of the same responses as you. Some people look at me and say..."Why in the world would you consider such a dangerous procedure, you look about 50 lbs overweight". Well, they're wrong...it's more than 50 lbs and aside from that, they just don't understand. I sometimes think that maybe envy has something to do with it too. Ya know, they would like to do it to but are afraid. Best to you.... Kerry
