Thursday is the big day and I'm...

Thursday April 17th is my date for DS. I am scared, excited and getting cold feet! Please help? Success stories would REALLY help right about now.

Good Luck!  It's an adjustment, but an incredible journey!  Better change that snail on your weight meter to a cheetah...it comes off quick...I actually lost a little too much...then I stabilized...I'm nearly 8 years out, and put back about 40 pounds from my lowest weight...I want to get moving and drop about 15 pounds (back to what I feel is my best weight...so sedentary at work).  The overall effect is awesome!  Definitely a life changer!  The only drawback has been gas and frequent movements at times...usually when it's most inconvenient, of course.  I needed an incisional hernia operation after about a year out.  Other than that, I'll take the new body over the old one anytime, and it's worth the occasional inconvenience previously cited!  Good Luck on your DS...most likely, you'll do great, and wish you had it sooner!

Thanks for the reply and the encouragement!

Awesome success here. Best decision I've made for myself in a long, long time. Good luck tomorrow! :)

You should be on the losers bench by now just wanted send positive thoughts your way.

Than you. It's now morning after surgery. All appears to be good. Walked around last night and early this AM. Sitting in the chair for the first time. Feeling tired and groggy. Going to walk again soon.
