Dont think you are alone. Most of us who have been thru this feel the exact same way. For me it has been almost a year. It will be n 18 days. I was terrified it wouldnt work for me. I had done everything else tried every diet known to man and was scarred to death that after spending $16000 it wouldnt work. I have been so blessed and my only regret is that I didnt do it sooner. Some times you go several weeks and not lose a pound then out of no where you start dropping again. If you do what the docs say, you will do great. I am down 85 pounds. I am only 17 away from my goal. Cant wait to get there and already feel like a different person. This works If you do what your told. Not always easy some days stink but overall I wouldnt change it for anything. You are about to enter a whole new world. Scarey as it may be you cant imagiane how awesome you will feel when you are thinner and more importantly healthier. God is good. Good luck and God bless. Mechelle

I was also afraid that it would not work for me. There were so many years that I would try and try to lose the weight and it just wouldn't come off. I kind of thought it was impossible for me to lose weight. But, I was wrong. I am 8 months out from surgery and have lost 80 lbs. It does work and you will not regret for a minute your decision to do this. I know I don't.

You have voiced a lot things in my head. I hope today goes well for you. My surgery is tomorrow. You aren't alone. We are ALL in this together.
