Hi Alfreda! I read all the information I could get my hands on and spoke to people just like me (and you). I also attended some information sessions which gave me a lot of "face" time with some surgeons and others like me. It really helps to speak to folks who are considering or have been through the same thing. Good luck

Alfreda: I am at the end of my journey of going though the pre-operative steps and the losing the 10%. I am in Albany and have been in the program since January. I am really excited and see friends that I have met through this site as well as at the support groups doing great. I read and read everything I could get my hands on- visiting web sites is awesome as well. The more educated you become, the better off you will be and then the less scared you will become. If I can help- just yell!! Vicki
