For all you upcoming newbies and surgery dates coming!

I know exactly what everyone is feeling or going thru before the big day, but just to hope and help a little I just want to let everyone know that if I had to do this surgery thing all over again I would do it in a heartbeat! The results are well worth the journey and see you guys at the losers bench!

I concur!

Very true and well said!

 I feel the same!

Awesome!  Thanks for posting that!  All this waiting gives time for lilttle worries and doubts to creep in.  I'm so ready to have it done NOW.  Good to know that you would do it all over again.  Thanks a bunch!! 

 It's gonna be a shaky start to get used to the changes your body will go through but just follow your doctors directions because all doctors are different and the results are going to be very well worth it. My heaviest was 350 and I'm down to 179. And always keep yourself motivated by coming back in here. Oh and only weigh yourself on Fridays it will help you keep more concentrated on your new eating habits rather than just weighing in. I kept weighing myself and kept getting discouraged because the numbers wouldn't move so I my wife would only allow me to weigh myself once a week n then I would see big numbers disappearing and that feels great. Good luck 

Thanks Richard.  That is very encouraging.  I will be having surgery on the 16th

 Good luck and trust me I was a big chicken n almost backed out at the last minute right before surgery not knowing what to expect and never in my life having any type of surgery I was not so sure. But after the results and knowing that I'm healthy I would do this all over again yearly if I had to. U got this!!!

 Thank you!!

 What a great post with great timing!!  Thanks for your words of encouragement!!
