Congrats! The first two weeks after the surgery is pain, but I was okay. The first four weeks of liquids after was very painful to bear, but you can make it through that also. You can do it!

I go change from one moment to the next: nervous, excited, feeling I have done tons of research so I am sure about my choice, to plan our fear.

I know this is the right choice and know that I can not continue down the path I am heading. For now I do not have any other health issues but I know that before long I will. I am tired of being fat and not living my life. I want to be a better mom and wife. I want to live my life and not always not want to do so many things because of my weight. :incazzato:

I'm excited and nervous all at the same time too! To be real the complication rate is very low less than 2%, heck those are pretty good odds if you ask me and good or bad, everything happens for a reason...I think we would all rather go through this process than be fat anymore...that is why we are here right? We have tried everything else and it didn't work. My mom had a bad knee she had surgery to fix it, I don't see a big difference. My head/stomach hunger is broken so I am getting it fixed. If you had a bad liver or heart you would get it fixed, right? I think we are all doing what we need to do to become happier and healthier so block out the fear and focus on the positives, it will help you heal faster, just my several cents :thumbup:) All the best to everyone! Take care and God Bless you all...
