Wow, I feel like you are writing what i am thinking. I feel better knowing that i am not the only one who wonders if this is the best decission. ANd your poll was great. I love to hear the inspirational stories. My first appointment is May 2nd. I am anxious and nervious, I have actually gained 6 lbs since making the appointment 2 weeks ago. I have been eating everything in sight because i am so affraid i will never be able to have some of the stuff again. From what i have read, it seems as though i will be able to but i will have this control switch inside of me that will not let me go overboard. I love this forum i feel better with each success story that i read.
