I absolutely have been feeling like that! My surgery isn't until 5/8 and I've been getting things in order. When I leave for the hospital that day I will have various papers on my desk with names on the envelopes, along with a copy of my will! My son's g/f tells me I'm morbid. I tell her, yes, for now I am...Morbidly Obese. Surgery is surgery. There's always risk, so like you...I am nervous. I'll await your next post so you can tell me how silly we are! Good luck tomorrow, sweetie!

Sorry I just now got this message and it will be after your surgery! Can't wait to get the scoop from ya! I'll be thinking about you and the new life you're about to embark on! My Surgery is at University Hospital in Syracuse. Did all the pre-op schtuff today...bailed on going to work for 2 hours! hehe...

I felt the same way you did before my surgery. At the time my kids were 4 1/2 and almost 7. Its two years later and I couldn't be happier. My surgery was performed by Dr. Pomp. You are in good hands and will do fine. Its only normal to worry. Try to stay calm. Best of luck to you.

Hilda~ Now, at this time, you are out of surgery...and well on your way to recovering. I know you are fine....I just feel it! I too, felt this fear - I think having children does emphasis the very real possibility that there was a chance that you could die from making this decision. I was excited as well...but, now a year out from my surgery and nearly 145#'s lighter - I realize NOT having the surgery would've been a journey to a "slower death"....my future was SURE to be grim....as was yours. CONGRATULATIONS for your courageousness....and that you NOW sit on the Losers Bench...and will be enjoying your new life now!! Looking forward to seeing your transformation & getting to know you better thru your posts!! Deborah~ LapRNY 4/19/06 333/189/150
