Surgery scheduled for May 18th 2015. And all of a sudden I am nervous

Ok so I will be 35 in November and I have been obese since maybe 15 that is 20 years... I am now at my highest weight of 332 lbs. Mother of 2 and October will make 5 years of marriage. And to top it off we are planning our Anniversary Celebration in October. Where we will have a wedding since we never had one. Some days I feel that I may have planned too much for 2015. Surgery right now is my main focus. Prayers and encouragements needed

Hi L. Mojabre,

We can't wait to hear from you post-op!

I think being nervous is normal for most people prior to Surgery. I am 54 years old and have had a weight problem all my life. I was born fat....seriously I weighed 12 lbs 1/2 oz when I was born....lol. With that said I battled this all my life. I am just 2 weeks out from surgery and can tell you I do not regret doing this at all. I think it is a wonderful tool to get us in the best shape ever and if we use it correctly will keep us there.

Just think what 5 months post-op will do for you with your plans to celebrate your 5 year anniversary...you will be so happy you did this!!
