Shustar you are brave! I am such a little girl sometimes I can't even drive myself to a hospital haha - and thanks for the support!!

sssflbelle - I have been telling white lies too, there is NO way am I going to tell people I know plenty judge in fact i tried brinigng it up a little as in a "what if I do it" and some of my friends got judgey. Well excuse me, no way am I telling anyone now. haha

BLERDgirl, yup I know this is for me, I have to do it been overweight all my life I need something stable. so this is definately for me

I did it alone also. Friend drove me. Step sister picked me up. She had to pick me up at the women's birthing center, so there's no telling what she thought!

Be careful if you have little fur-babies who love to cuddle, mine jumped on me the day after I got my staples out! So now, I just keep a pillow on my stomach... And mix sea salt and hot Water and spray daily... That normally helps all other wounds... And it is helping mine tremendously. One week post op had staples taken out and was -10 lbs. I'm scared to check the scales... But I will next Tuesday when I'm 3 weeks post op...

I love this forum! ????

I went the entire process alone. To this day only people from this forum know about my surgery, and I intend to keep it that way. It's very do-able with careful planning ahead of time.

One thing with uber: you have to have an adult check you out of the hospital, and a driver won't be able to do that. I took an uber car home but I had to hire an aide from a visiting nurse-type service as my post op escort. You will need someone to check you out, so keep that in mind.

I felt your feelings also. Didn't tell anyone. I'm 40 pounds down since June. That's a bag of rock salt. (For those who live in that part of the country). The biggest benefit: food doesn't control me anymore. I control it. You have the power!
