My surgery is on the 19th. I'm nervous. I can't quite explain why. I think it's that this is my last hope. I have lost 100 pounds had surgery to take off excess skin (six years ago) kept it off for about three years and started gaining it back now I've gained all and some extra. If the surgery doesn't work I don't know what to do. I think I would have been better off if when I was a preteen/teen I never went on a diet and learned how to eat right and care for myself. Instead I spent my whole life hating my body, except for when I lost the 100 I would work out all the time but the minute I got a sedentary job with long hours i couldn't keep up with the extreme workouts I was doing. I will be interested to see if this is the tool I've been missing. I can eat healthy I can work out just portions control and dealing with emotions I have trouble with. Please please surgery work
