Thank you guys! Feeling more positive now. The support group meeting was great. I guess before I didn't really have a support system. I feel like that has changed. My family is supportive as well as my coworkers. I think going to the meetings will be very important for me.

I've been excited about getting this surgery for the last six months but now that it's almost here (hopefully next month) I am getting nervous and wondering if this will work for me. I have had success losing weight in the past just to gain it back, but i have slowly gained over the past five years without losing. I've tried too many times to count but by the third day I am starving and just give up and go back to eating whatever I want. I know I have some willpower because I did quit smoking 3 months ago after being a smoker for 22 years. I've also started excercising about the same time I quit smoking and I'm now walking 5 days a week compared to the ZERO excercise I've done in the past 10 years. I have my first support group meeting tonight and you know what's crazy? I'm nervous about going because I'm afraid I'll be the biggest one there! Hello it IS a support group for WLS. Anyone else nervous and have doubts?

Thank you! I think I'm just nervous bc it will totally change my life but I'm ready for a change. ???Š
