Thanks for the nice words neighbor! The WLS will be done in La Jolla. Dr W does not work out of Alvarado anymore.

Well one week before the WLS and the OMG i am happy has turned into OMG i am scared! Its 4 am and I can't sleep. I am worried that something might go wrong. I am also worried about being thin. I don't know what that is like and I am sure it sounds so stupid but is just the way I feel right now.

It is normal to be nervous! I'm pretty sure you'll like being thin. It makes life a lot easier! I'm not even at goal yet but I feel 100% better with all this weight gone. It is kind of weird somedays. Sometimes I look in the mirror and don't recognize myself-hard to explain! The weirdest part is someone will say, "you weigh less than me." and I look at them and can't believe I'm that size. I hold up my clothes and they look so small (size 12 pants, medium shirts). I keep thinking that won't fit me but it does! Congratulations on your date! I'm sure you'll do just great. It's a big lifestyle change but you can do it!

I am sure it will all be great. I know I am just being silly. I want to fast forward and see the outcome. I am worried about complications after WLS as I am sure all of you were. I have heard great stories and really bad ones. Thats a little scary but it is worth it I know. Once you get a date it seems so much more real.
