Hi Shutterbug. I am new here and my surgery date is 12/18. I am very nervous as you said in your earlier post. I also see you are from MI as well as Paula, me too. I am in Madison Heights, but we visit Clair a lot, my inlaws retired up there. Thanks for posting you thought about your surgery, it helps to see others have the same concerns.

HI Gingin, My sugery date is 12/18. I would also like to have 150 as a goal weight but I am not sure it's realistic. My start weight is 371 mu surgeon says an expected weight loss is between 70-65% of excess body weight. But I can still hope. Nice meeting you and good luck.

Hi There. Thanks for posting your story and thoughts. I have decided to have surgery and I am having some difficulty deciding which procedure to have. I have a surgery date (12/18/09) and all pre-op stuff done. I just seem to not be able to decide. Today, after finding this site and your posts I think I am ready to make my decision. I am leaning toward the VGS. For some reason beyond me, the stats of possibably lossing 10% more weight with the bypass is just nagging at me. I know I shouldn't care, logically that is because no matter which surgery I get the diabeties will most likely be gone as well as all the joint pain and I need to focus on that. The idea of weighing 100 and something puonds is just such a draw for me. I am currently 371 pounds, and I can't believe I waited this long. Anyway I do appreciate your open discussions of your feelings and concerns. Thanks again.:thumbup:
