Like everyone has mentioned, being nervous is normal. You're going to have a huge change in your life. If you're married, you probably had similar nervousness right before walking down the aisle. Or right as you were signing papers to buy your first house, or your first car. This is going to be the best decision though for your health and well being. Come on out to the threads and read and comment, we're a fairly friendly bunch, and we love to give support.

All the best to you!

Thank you all very much for the kind words and support. I have 2 days 11/20/2019 . Wow it has finally happened for me to be on the losers bench. Still crazy nervous but very excited. I can’t wait to feel better. My starting weight is 220.3 today and 5’1. Best wishes to everyone on this journey. Has anyone made a YouTube channel about their journey. I’m really thinking of doing it to hold myself accountable.

Please, teach me and others how to enjoy the excitement and once in a lifetime (for some) journey. I want to be present in each step and not caught up in my head with the future. I like your idea of enjoying the excitement, because my a** is scared, lol.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
