Hello everyone from the southeast. I am new to this however I have been reading all your postings and they are encouraging. My op date is also March 7th. This is a really big decision so I am a little nervous but at this point as they have said in a movie "Dead man walking". I am at 315lbs at 5 foot so I don't just walk, I think I roll down the hall. Ha Ha. I work with several other people that have had this surgery and as one put it so well, My worst day after the surgery is still better than my best day before the surgery. Copergirl good luck. I will be having mine at the Medical University of South Carolina by an Irish surgeon who has been doing this since 1992 and is a real sweetheart.Talk with "Ya all" later Mollie
