I literally cannot stop crying. Surgery is in less than 12hrs..and I'm not crying because I'm scared really, but just because I'm so excited and happy to have this chapter of my life close so that I can open a new one. I'm so grateful for all the messages people I don't even know from OH have sent me, my family has been really good to me these past few weeks and I know I have all the elements for success, it's up to me to put them all into place. I expected it to be emotional..but this is a bit much

Chantal.... I am so happy for you, and I can totally relate to the unexpected tears you are experiencing. I was happy and excited and didn't cry at all until my friend came to pick me up to take me to the airport. He arrived, and we sat on the couch for a few minutes. And then it hit me. For some reason, I just started crying and couldn't stop. I'm sure it was a combination of many things that caused it... but my friend just held me and reminded me that everything would be okay and that I was going to be fine. He was right! I am 1 week and 3 days post-op and I am more than fine --- I am soooo happy! Everyday when I wake up now, I know that I am losing weight. I know that my new small stomach is helping me to control my eating, and that by the end of the day...the week...the month.. I will lose weight. It is so comforting! I am thinking of you and can't wait to read your post-op posts!!! Hugs, Elaine

Chantal, You will do great. You do have what it takes to be successful and I believe that you will be. Good luck and soon you will join the ranks of "the postops". John (aka Jonoba)

Hey girl! Congrats on your surgery tomorrow! I remember crying when I it was about 5 hours after surgery saying to my husband "I will never be happier then I am right now. No food could make me as happy as I am right at this moment!" It was a great feeling! Here's to a quick easy recovery! Jen
