I have a date

Well my big day is April 25th. I don't post here very often but I thought I'd share my good news. I read all the posts every day and enjoy everyones comments and messages and have learned so much. I am so happy but yet at the same time am scared to death. Not scared of the surgery itself, but of life after. I am so ready to give up food the way I know it now, I just hope I can keep it off in the coming years. I have been heavy all my life and I don't know how I'll feel when I'm not. I'm sure very happy, I just can't wait to start this whole journey. Just 5 more weeks. WOW

Judy, Just take it one day at a time. I'm sure that you will be very happy with the outcome. Congratulations on receiving this gift!

Thanks to all of you. Its really nice to know that Im not alone.

Congratulations, girlfriend!!! You can count on me to be there for you... I think that you'll find that you are "normal" in your fears and worries. I'd be more concerned if you weren't having these feelings. I am so excited for you... although this is not an easy choice, I know for sure that it has saved my life and I'd do it all over again. You know my phone number, if you ever want to talk... if there is ANYTHING that I can do for you, please do not hesitate to let me know! If you want to email me directly, you can do so at my [email protected] address. Again, C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S ! ! ! Hugs, Karen 320/177/150-ish
