Hi all I was just recommended for surgery 3/3/07. I am so excited and cannot wait. I know this is the right decision but I am a bit scared as well. My goal weight is 150, the average weight for a persoon is 124-159, I am 5'6". I have DDD and my right knee is working its way to bone on bone. Loosing the weight will help both.

Thank you so much. I don't know what to think of all of this. I am so overwhelmed. I have been directed to a site where there are all of these horror stories about the procedure and the failure rate. something around 43% after 5 years will have put the weight back on. I hope we are all not in that percentage. God willing
