Paula, You Go For It Girl! I am 2 mo. post-op today and I can not tell you how much of a "health" difference it has made in my life. I still have 105 lbs to go and have lost 40, but I physically feel like a new person. I am 53, and I have not one second of regret and either will you. You will be fine and soar like a butterfly through this surgery. God Bless you. You have made a wonderful decision that will benefit your health and well being for the rest of your life. Just think, your family is here for you and so are we. Good luck and see you on the other side.
