It does seem like forever when your starting out your 6 month weigh ins but it really does go by really fast. Take this time to educate yourself as much as you can. I'm glad that I had the time to mentally prepare myself. I'll be having my surgery in a few weeks. I hope that I have enough education about what to expect. I couldnt wait in the beginning for the 6 months to go by. Now there gone and I can't front I'm kinda nervous.
