I'm all set and ready for surgery on 3/11. I am soooo scared though. How are you sure you are making the right decision?

Congratulations!!! I know you are excited and scared at the same time. I knew I had made the right decision for me because if I kept doing what I was doing, I felt I would always be morbidly obese and I wasn't really enjoying my life--just existing. I made sure I really educated myself on the surgery I wanted--both the good and the bad. I didn't want to totally put my decision in my surgeon's hands--I wanted to make sure that I understood as much as I could.

I haven't regretted it since--obviously during recovery, you are not always feeling great and I'm pretty inpatient so I want the weight gone now but it's happening and for the first time in years, I have hope. Hope that I can lead a happy, healthy long life with my family.

2014 is your year and I'm sure you will have a successful surgery! Keep thinking good thoughts! Lisa
