Welcome,
We welcome you with open arms! I felt the same way. I went through a whole range of emotions. I cried on the way home from work after I signed the papers, thinking what did I just do. Like you, I also did my home work, several years worth of research on this subject. I found the best doctor, Dr. C has thousands of success WLS patients. I figured, I have the best that modern medicine has to offer, I will put my faith in knowing that and left the rest up to God. I had to turn this over, because it became bigger than me. I have young children and a husband that I might not see after my surgery, I wrote them a long letter and instructed my best friend to deliver it if something happens. I made sure that everything I could do, was completed and come surgery day, I was at peace with the world.
I hope you find peace. Congratulations on making this life changing decision! Again, welcome to the forum, we're here to help.
