I am also very unsure. I am having my pre op on Monday and Surgery on the 4th of May. Im scared is a nice way to put it. My mind is thinking the worst things possible. I may even be trying to talk myself out of it.

Has anyone had surgery with Dr William Richardson in New Orleans

Yes mine is at Ocshner in New Orleans. My insurance would only cover at a "Center of Excellence". When is your surgery mine is May 4

That really does help knowing you have children and you still did it. I am all they have and I need to be here for them. I prayed that if God didnt want this for me He would close the door but He hasn't. I am only 34 years old and my knees are aching my back kills me and Im just too tired all the time to play with my kids. I sit all day at my job so that doesnt help!!! At 200 pounds I could do alot more but recently I packed on the rest and Im miserable. I rode bikes with my daughter the other day something we always used to do and I could barely make it down 2 streets. When I voice my concerns about the surgery to my family they just brush me off thinking im being overly sensitive since they have already lost one parent Im just emotional. I know my doctor is very skilled and has great success. So im doing this for me and my kids and hope for the best. You are losing weight fast you must be excited. We are going to Disney is November and all I can think about is how great I should feel by then.

I am also very nervous. I am getting banded May 4th and the nerves have set in. I'm 5ft 2 and 230 lbs. I know I need this and want this but I have 3 children and they have already lost their father due to tragedy and i don't want to do anything that could take me away from them
