Hi,
Unfortunately I haven't experienced this yet, surgery is scheduled for 7/22/14. I am a teacher and at close to the same weight at as you are. I looked at this forum because I feel I am going to need some support also. I am starting the pre-op. diet after I have slept. I am nervous, excited, fearful, anxious, the emotions are all over the place. So far I have felt very supported by the supported by all of the people on the surgeon's staff. I have attended some pre-operative support meetings and found them to be very encouraging. Wednesday is my pre-op doctor appointment and final tests, meeting with anesthesiologist. It seems like this has all gone so quickly.
