Hi Tina, congradulations, I know you can't wait. But know the waiting is well worth it in the end. I know you will do great thru surgery and afterwards. Tell your family that this surgery will help you have a longer life and a healthier life. I had my surgery in January. I have gone from 3x in mens sweats to size 14 in shorts and 16 in tops. According to the scales I have lost 107.5 pounds. I only need to lose 40 more to my goal. This surgery really does work as long as you work with the tool and stick to what your Dr. and nutrionist says what you can eat and what not to eat. I am now allowed beef and pork, but I have gotten used to not eating it that I don't miss it nor does my body want it. I wish you all the happiness that you deserve. May God travel with you on this new and exciting journey to a better you. Kathy
