Now I'm getting anxious!! My surgery will probably be in April and I've read about several unsuccessful situations on the web. They really scared me. But, I need to do this as I have to lose weight and nothing else has worked long term (and the short terms are getting shorter!). One of my kids asked what will I do when I come home from work totally stressed out and my old soother food is not available. I told him: "I don't know!" I will probably have my gall bladder out too as I have something on it, which will make this worse???? This is my first post (on any blog) so I'm not sure what to do.
