My surgery has been scheduled for the 16 it was moved up from March because my doctor had a cancellation , I think this is good because it put me in a better mindset , I have not told a lot of people because everyone has a negative story about someone they know that it didn't work out and I didn't need to know this, everyone is different all I know is that I went through a lot these past eight months to get where I am at to prepare for this and I WILL SUCCEED ! So keep thinking positive and remember this is a lifestyle change and not a quick fix good luck to you
