I'm obsessed

All I do is look at before and after pics all dang day. I can't stop I keep looking at how great people look and hope and pray that this will some day be my story too. ARG why does this process take so long. Or more importantly why am I so impatient. Waiting SUCKS.

Me TOO!!! I do the same thing... wish and dream/........

I think the 6 months it took me to get everything done up to my surgery was the longest 6 months of my life! It will be here and past before you know it and a couple of years from now it will be you in those pictures. Good Luck and try to be patient.

After taking 2 years to decide to have it, It took me another 18 months and I didn't think I would ever get it and people told me it will go by and it did. Don't give up it is coming!

I feel the same dang way !! Is it ever gonna get here.  I spend all day long lurking on this website and looking at before and afters.  CONSTANTLY !!!

GUILTY!!!  I did and still do the same thing!! I even had my kids looking with me. It kind of played a part in my preparing them for what was going to happen to me. I look just to see them and wonder if I will be that successful with my own weight loss. I also like to find people that started out the same weight as me to get a heads up on how I will look and how much skin will be left.

 Guilty too.... lol.... I love this web site... it has given me a lot of information already!  I have 11 days left!  I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are not alone... (as you can see from the responses)..  I did it before my surgery and still do it.  I started at 293 and have lost 73% of my excess... putting me at 185 today...

It took me a year or so to decide on the surgery and then when I did go to my first seminar it was in May 08.... had to do the 3 months for my insurance,  got the approval oct 17th, and my surgery was nov 26, 08.  It was the BEST thing i ever did. 

Congrats on making a really tough decision, and yes this site is great for inspiration, motivation and loads of information :)

I discovered OH about 6 months prior to my surgery.  I'm too embarrassed to share how much time I spent lurking on this site pre-op [my work IT department knows my little secret I am sure] - but its been a great support...you have to say to yourself what I say to myself when I really ought to be doing something else --

STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER....lol

Peace,

Rhonda

Guilty also...............I can not stay off this site.  I look at the pictures over and over again.  Dreaming of the day it will be my turn and how amazing everyone looks!
