So glad you have all shared your feeling!! I thought I was all alone!! My surgey date is Dec. 30, 2014. I am beyond anxious, but excited for the outcome. I have spent the last 19 years yo-yo dieting with short term sucess. I am so ready to have my "life" back. Many times I have looked the mirror and wondered whose reflection I was seeing. I felt trapped in my own body. The physical person I saw was not the person I was on the inside. Can anyone relate?
