Asking for prayers......Surgery is tomorrow
I can't believe it. After 6 years of research and preparing, the time is finally here, 6:30AM tomorrow morning. I'm asking all of you to pray for me to have a successful and complication free surgery. I also ask for prayer for my family's support as they really don't understand why I am doing this and also to put my daughter's mind at ease. I have one child and she is 20 years old and she wishes it could be done any other way besides surgery. I tried to put her mind at ease and not to think the worse but think and pray for the best. I have to be honest, I am having thoughts to maybe give it one more good try before going under the knife. I know, if I don't go through with this I will regret it and this maybe the only opportunity I will have to start a new healthy life. I will keep you all posted. Thanks for all the advice thus far. I really appreciate all of you and your kind and honest words.

Good luck tomorrow and have a speedy recovery 
I think you are making your best decision out there to go through with it. I thought about trying it one more time too but after so many times of being unsuccessful I knew it was time.
Anything like me, my surgery was a breeze so far, the first day can be rough and it truly felt like I did way too many sit ups, every day gets better where if you have a drain as soon as they take that out you can't believe the difference. I had mine in for two days and it was like a speedy recovery after it was removed and felt so much more like walking.

I will pray for you and your family. You are making a wise decision. The sleeve makes it so much easier to make the best choices and to become a more healthier and happier you.
My surgery and recovery went very well. I walked a lot and this truly helps your recovery.
I too thought of one more round with weight loss without surgery and I was overcome with an urgency to move forward with surgery and once my mind was made up, i never looked back and had a true peace about it and have never, ever regretted getting the sleeve.
I was a self pay and it truly was the wisest money I have ever spent!
I am very grateful for this tool that is taking me to a level of healthy conscious eating that I never really experienced.
I wish you the best and just know that you will be fine and on your way to the new fabulous you!!!
Hugs!
