Only 19 days to go. Getting anxious about my surgery. I can't wait til I am living the life I should have been living for many years. I am also nervous about the risks and complications of this proceedure. This is the most important change I have ever made in my life.

One month and a wake up until I am reborn and starting to lose the weight that has kept me from enjoying the life I was meant to live. If I could have this surgery tomorrow, I would. I have the Pulmunologist and the Gastroenterologist left and then I would have seen all of the specialists to make sure that I am cleared for surgery. Then there are some lectures and the pre-op with Dr. Perez. Thank you to everyone for the kind words I have received on this site. It has also given me alot of information on what is involved with this procedure.
