I know the feeling, I have once again became obsessed with the thought of finally having surgery. I'm going to Dr Garcia on Feb 21st. Ooh I can hardly wait!

I feel the same way about March 2013. To top it off, I don't have anyone in person to discuss it with (because of my bf and bff's poor reactions, I have decided not to tell anyone else until after it's done) and it's pretty much all I want to talk or think about.

Oh SweetTee...its all I think about...I am a 38yr 238 5'3 African American woman....and I am so ready to change my life...I just want to be active and full of energy....not breathing hard and sidelined from playing with kids......God knows this is a blessing for me, because I have tried EVERYTHING...I glad to know you feel me SweetTee..this site has been a great support....

Icon23...my husband really doeant want to hear it either.....he even had the nerve to try and convincee I didnt need...but once he noticed I wasnt trying to hear it...he backed off..because this is a Me Myself and I, mission.

I, too, am going alone. My bf is supportive of the surgery, but not in Mexico, so I can't really talk much about it. I haven't even told him that I'm going in March and I won't until I buy my plane ticket (after the holidays). At least we are lucky to have the support network here at VST. I might literally lose my mind without it.

I'm 37 also. Will be 38 in February and my surgery is a late birthday present to myself.

Here's to our upcoming successes!

Hey SweetTee I know exactly how you feel! I've had the feeling of just "existing" off and on for the last 20 some years! There have been so many times I passed on doing something fun because of my weight. I'm a journaling person and when one day I sat down and read some old entries I had myself in tears. So many attempts at getting this weight off, so many years of struggling with loving and forgiving myself for my "failures" then talking myself up to try yet again. I am so thankful I found out about this surgery, thankful I have the means to make it happen, thankful for this chance to finally get past this hurdle in my life and move FORWARD!

God willing, I'll be in Tijuana in February having surgery 2 days before my 43rd birthday. I can't think of a better present to myself
