July 29 is my date, too. I get scared sometimes but I'm committed. Wish I solved this awful weight problem at age 25. I'm 58 and I have lost 50-100 lbs 15 times in my life. Only to gain it back plus more. I feel this surgery is my last chance before I get seriously sick. Currently I am diabetic and my glucose levels alway runs high despite taking 4 different meds.
