Hey Guys!
Thanks for the support and letting me know that I'm not alone in my fears and concerns about this upcoming surgery. I'm sure we will all do well, I just hope that I don't lose a lot of hair (it's already thin) or have obvious scarring. I know these are probably vain concerns, but concerns nonetheless. I haven't told anyone in my family about my 8/25 surgery, They are not supportive, and would just brand me a failure for taking "the easy way out". The stress and lack of support from an emotionally abusive family is one of the things that sent me on a course of emotional eating for most of my life. Anyhoo, enough about that. I guess I am lucky that there is no diet to follow other than not eating after midnight leading up to my surgery. It's strange that some folks have 3-4 week periods of pre-surgery "dieting", and some of us have none. Best wishes to all!
