I'm scared, I'm excited, I can't wait.. but glad I have almost three weeks to wait. Oh, all the emotions.
I have been looking at all your post and still amazed how good everyone does and in such a short time. I have been thinking about all the things: wearing a belt again, being able to buckle the seat on the airplane, wearing cute clothes, maybe my back will not hurt as much, wow I could go on and on.
Thank you for all your Great stories and maybe I will have one to share soon.

Re: It's my time - I'm going to do it!!!!
It is an amazing surgery. So glad I did it. I lost 99 lbs in 10 months. I would do it all over again in a heart beat. Best decision I ever made!
PS-I did have some back discomfort as well and used a heating pad a lot in the first month or so. It's helpful to get one if you do not have one. I had the kind you can get at a pharmacy and heat up in the microwave. Worked wonders post op.
