Hey there! Our stories are so similar! I am having the surgery at Umass, hopefully within the next month or so. I have jumped through ALL of the hoops...classes, tests, evaluations, approvals and appts. I am just waiting for the Dr to call and schedule the actual day. (which is extremely painful just sitting waiting) I'm not an impatient person, but this is driving me nuts LOL My husband is also supportive yet reserved. He's been right there with me through out the entire process. He is terrified that there will be some risk or freak accident. Just shows how much he loves me lol. I haven't even discussed the surgery with my mother, she lives 1500 miles away and isn't very supportive either. But The rest of my family and friends have been amazing, but dont really get what I'm going through. Thats why I reached out to people on here. I didn't realize that Lahey also did WLS. Thats great! How long ago did you decide to go through with this? I have been considering it for almost 3 years? I began the process once before and chickened out. A few years and 50 lbs later, I realized I couldn't do it on my own. So here I am, glad to hear from you

Thats when I should be having my surgery as well! Keep posting about your progress. Are you as nervous as I am? I keep bouncing back and froth from excited to anxious, I am so excited to began my new life but I am terrified and anesthesia and I'm terrified of the discomfort afterwards....sigh!
