surgery is getting closer!!

Mar 14, 2012

So my surgery is approaching fast. I am so excited yet the closer it gets, the more nervous I get. I have one workshop class left, and one more appointment with the surgeon before surgery. I went to the education class with the nurse last week, which was very informative. I have done my research. the before and after photos I see on this site keep me excited. I actually watched a gastric bypass being done, it was "interesting" so to say. I did like viewing the video though, its good to know exactly how everything is going to change in my body. I have never gone for a major surgery so this will be my first time ever. I do know a few women who just had the surgery and one who had the surgery about 7 months ago, and already lost 107 lbs and looks great. I do believe she will be having a tummy tuck done but the excess skin on her arms is not bad at all. Hopefully I will be as lucky, since that is one of the things I am nervous about. However, I'd rather deal with some excess skin than being 300lbs. Like I had mentioned in my about me, I have always tried to not let my weight interfere with my life, but it is so unhealthy to be this heavy and i need a change.
