Hello North Carolina!
I was on the NC board in 2004 and I received great support from the board members. Two days before surgery in 2004 I backed out because I was afraid! Now I have begun this journey again and there is no stopping this time. I am going all the way to better health. Prior to my approval, I was so nervous. Now I am numb!!!! I feel absolutely nothing! Could it be that I am in a state of shock.
I am so glad to be back on the North Carolina Board!


Welcome back to the boards. I understand your feelings. I think many feelings can evolve when we are making such drastic lifestyle changes but I believe if you talk to people, even those with complications, they tell you they would do it again in a heartbeat. I have not talked to anyone that has said they made a mistake. Try and focus on that. It will all be SO worth it when all is said and done. Lisa
Welcome back! And congratulations on your decision for better health and a happier life! I was one of those who had complications and I would do it again. And it took me a long time to make the decision as well. I had my surgery a month before my 58th birthday! So very glad I gave myself this gift! I am sure you will be too!
Hey Lady!
Welcome back. We are so glad that you are joining us and are looking forward to getting to know you.
Wishing you all the best,

Welcome back! You're probably feeling that way because you know you're ready this time and it's a matter of fact now. I kinda felt the same way. I was excited to get my surgery done and knew it was the right thing but I was kinda numb also. I hope you come on line often now that you're back!
