Surgery Date

Finally!!! After 4 years of researching and educating myself about WLS, I will be having it done October 26th. I just found out today. It is finally reality. I am feeling so many different emotions but mostly I am scared. I am open to any suggestions about the hospital stay or things to do or not to do when coming home. I read the message board alot but very rarely post. I find it to be a great source of support. Wish me luck!! Melissa S

Welcome to the Losing side! Just remember- it will all be worth it. And, of course, there will be days when you wonder! Tell us a little about yourself, and post often- this really is a wonderful and supportive place where you can ask ANYTHING!! Jeri H.
