Well I have a date scheduled for 7/21/05 and I am scared and excited at the same time. I just hope I am doing the right thing, so many people are against it, some say I am not that big and should not do it, well my BMI is 47 and that is considered mobid obesity and also I have severe sleep apnea. I have really researched and believe Dr Gorospe is the best of the best in oklahoma. I hope I can calm down before surgery date.

You have made a lifechanging decision so it is normal to be nervous. I must agree you have picked the best surgeon to use. I researched for 2 years then decided against having the surgery. Then I kept running in to people that had WLS and used Dr G and they looked great felt great etc and had nothing but good to say about him. (read my profile) He is awesome and so is his staff and support group. I had mine Feb 23 this year and have had no complications (difficulty adjusting but no complications). I have lost 62 pounds and I was what is considered a light weight starting at 258 pounds (that one always cracks me up, me a light weight LOL)Good luck and happy trails on your new journey. join us on line at gorospesnewbeginnings @ yahoogroups.com (delete the space we aren't allowed to put links I think.)

Thank you all for your support. I have my EGD on Jun 28, and then all the other tests start the week of July 11, and now I keep thinking what if they find something wrong and won't do the surgery after I have got my hopes up. Will just have to wait and see. Thanks again for your posts.
