Hey there and welcome. Come here for your support anytime you possibly can. It is a life-saving and life-changing journey for you. Just hold on for one wild ride. And a brand new life. I too was very scared and lacked alot of support at first, but have since gained support, lost weight and got my life back and enjoy it to the fullest. Please keep us informed of when your surgery date is. Come here often and research and ask questions and learn. I am over one year post op and am continually amazed at how I learn something new each time I check out the boards. Best wishes!
