I'd been thinking about having WLS for about the past 2 years.  My sister-in-law had it done with great results and my good friend also had it done last year.  I finally decided that this is the route I wanted to go after sitting in on an informational session and then my very first support group through the hospital.  Every person in the group said the only regret they had was that they didn't do the surgery sooner!  After I made my decision, about 3 months went by and my surgery date happened on July 17, 2017.  Currently I am feeling the moodiness today (5th post op day) and have gone through many emotions in my mind as well.  I had a severe case of "buyer's remorse" right away because I don't think I was prepared for the discomfort - I had some pretty awful nausea.  But today I am weighing in at 17 pounds under my highest weight and 13 pounds under my surgery weight.  So, I'm also getting pretty excited for what is yet to come (off)!
