"I so want to have more energy and feel better and not be out of breath all the time. I want to be able to do even the small things and be able to breath and not feel like I am going to pass out any minute. I can't even imagine feeling normal or good again. Is it possible to have energy again?"
YES! It worked for me - when I went to Dr. Shina's office for my first checkup at 3 1/2 weeks I could already breathe 100% better - it was and is amazing. I had all the same problems you have and it is so good to be able to walk across the room without being out of breath! It's gonna happen for ya and I'll be so happy that you are getting well too!
I will keep you in my prayers - the pain is short term and well worth it - meds are available and should get you through the worst of it. I have so much energy now - even though I'm still above 300 lbs. I feel better than I have in 10 years!

Donna,
I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers as your big day continues. Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!!!
I can't wait unitl my big day gets here. I've yet to hear from Georgetown for scheduling or anything. I continue to make my weekly calls just to make sure I'm keeping in touch with them. I'm beginning to take it personally.
Good luck and Godspeed.

Well good luck to you and I will be praying for you. I hope to have my surgery soon with Dr. Soninstine(Tom). I went for my 1st all day appt. on March 27th and have heard nothing. I called last week and spoke with Jennifer at Georgetown and she said that she was fixing to send it in for insurance approval. Everyone keeps asking me am I excited or how do I feel, well as for me it don't seem real yet. I think maybe once I have approval and actually get my next appt. I will feel better about it and will be more excited. I have already got all my clearences all I am waiting on is Georgetown. Any suggestions on what to do. Feel free to pm me.
