Default I FINALLY got my surgery date!

Well, my surgery is scheduled for June 30th. I am super-duper excited, but also really questioning this decision. I think it is a normal part of the process though.

Yes, questioning your decision is definitely normal. This is a HUGE life-altering choice. Remember, you can always back out at the last minute, but forge ahead because it is SO worth it!

Congratulations on your date! It'll be here in no time.

Default Woo Hoo!

Congrats on your date!!! The time will fly by and you will be losing weight like crazy! It is totally normal to question your decision - if it helps you, make a list of pros and cons (if you haven't already). I am only 8 days post op but I have never been more sure that doing this has saved my life.

Congrats on your date. I know that feeling of excitement and the question in your mind, am I making the right decision? It is just the same feeling you get before any surgery, I think it is called being SCARED.

Keep us posted along your journey.
