I live just across the bridge from Kitty Hawk out here in the boonies of Northeastern NC. I've lived here my entire life. Actually my sons are the 11th generation to live on our farm.
2. Pre-Op or Post-Op?
Post Op. August 8, 2008 is without a doubt the best thing I've ever done for myself.
3. How'd you get your screen name?
Kilmarlic is actually an old, old, old name for the part of the county that I live in. Now there's a golf course by the same name.
4. Pre-Op......Your biggest concern about Weight Loss surgery?
I was afraid it was going to be "painful" and that I'd somehow undo my surgery. Hospitals have these great drugs for pain - use them. I can honestly say I never hurt. As far as undoing my surgery - well that doesn't happen instantly. That comes from repeated episodes of not following the surgeon & nutritionists recommendations.
5. Post-Op.....The biggest benefit of Weight Loss surgery?
Without a doubt the thing I hoped to gain - a life without diabetes was an almost overnight accomplishment. The benefits of a higher quality of life are far beyond what I'd ever imagined.

Asheville NC......been here over 4 years. Not from here originally but did live here once before and LOVE it.
2. Pre-Op or Post-Op?
Post op 13 days. Am a newbie.
3. How'd you get your screen name?
I love kermit the frog and any other muppet.
4. Pre-Op......Your biggest concern about Weight Loss surgery?
Would I actually lose weight. Could I handle not being able to eat food inappropriately. Will my life be the worse or better. Would I die. Would I be able to swallow again. Can you tell I have some concerns? :)
5. Post-Op.....The biggest benefit of Weight Loss surgery.
Still waiting to have this defined.
Thanks for posting this......will try to visit NC forum more often and maybe we can get some ore traffic on here. :)
You'll soon be celebrating those WOW moments and non-scale victories - please take a moment to share them with us so we can celebrate with you.
Good Luck!!!

3. Thats my name and photo of me a few years ago
4 Pre-op Just worried it won't happen soon enough
5 Post-op I believe that it will boost my self-esteem and confidence level. I want to healthier and longer life
There are small changes that you can be making now that you'll always need to follow as a post-op patient (no drinking with your meals - small bites - chew, chew, chew, chew, chew - daily vitamin routine - adequate water intake and finally daily exercise) If you're not already doing those things you should really consider working them into your life.
Good Luck & keep us posted.
