Hi Amy! I'm Jenny and live in NJ. I have a 12 yo daughter and also married. We moved here from Ohio a few years ago. I'm scheduled to have the surgery at the beginning of February. I'm currently around 275lbs and 5'5"". I'm excited, but really nervous and still thinking a lot about it. What about you? How are you feeling?

Hi Jenny,

I'm Linda and I'm scheduled for surgery Jan 14th. I live in NJ. I'm 240. 5'6". I'm getting really nervous!

I'm excited more than nervous. I've been big my whole life, it's time for me to feel good in my body! My husband is a cancer survivor and we worry about his health, I need to be healthy to be around for a long time for my boys.

Hey Amy!! Good for you. It's awesome to be taking control of our lives. I'm 5'6" 240 lbs. it took a long time for me to make this decision. I think it is the right one for me. As my surgery gets closer I'm just getting nervous. I start my 14 day liquid Dec 30th. Hopefully that will go well and give me a jump start on my weight loss. I have also started going to the gym. That should help too. Good luck to you!

Hi Linda and Amy! It's nice to connect with other people getting ready for surgery. Amy, my husband is a cancer survivor too, so I can relate to already worrying about long-term health in your twenties and thirties. Blessedly, he's been in remission for close to 9 years. I understand that feeling of being heavy my whole life. I'm also bit of an emotional eater, so I've been working with a counselor on these issues and it's definitely helped. Linda,what end of NJ are you? We are south jersey. What kind of Protein Drinks are you ladies drinking for pre op? I can always use suggestions!

Hello all! Congrats on your decision. I just had surgery on Monday in NJ. I was completely excited yet scared out of my wits. But post-op has been good so far thank God. If you guys have any questions please feel free to let me know.

I have one, every single person I have talked to said they woke up post op and wished they had never done it. Did you feel this way?
