I really appreciate all of the nice, positive, and true comments everyone has provided me with. I just want to lose this weight and I'm gonna do everything I can to do so. Currently, I'm looking into having the procedure financed since I don't have enough in savings. What do you think? Has anyone done that? Are there companies that will work with me since I'm a student w/ little or no credit...let me something, guys.:help: For the past year or so, I have focused all of my attention on rebuilding mentally first, and now it's time for the surgery!! YEEEAAAHHH!!!
