I will heed your words of advice and continue on with my making the appointment. I know that I can weather any storm. I can't wait to wear something other then a size 22. I'm dreaming of a size 16!<br>Nancy Helen,<br>I’m glad to hear that things can get

It can change you life forever. The biggest thing before and after you have the surgery is your "mind-set." You have to realize that your lifestyle is going to change forever. As long as you realize it is for the better....you can work through the ups and downs of this surgery. If you change your eating habits you might not ever experience nausea. I only experienced it once when I ate a pancake. You will learn fast that bread products fill you up too fast. You will have sad days and will feel like doing nothing but crying. Then comes the day when you put on a size 10 and all those sad days fly out the window. You can go to the mall or go through a holiday and not have to think about "what can I have to eat!" In fact, <!--more--> my husband gets so upset with me now, because stopping to eat is the last thing on my mind. Give me a diet pepsi and I am good to go. Lunch and dinner can now be a lunchable. (That's one lunchable for two meals!) As long as your mind-set is in perspective before and after the surgery....you and your husband will make out fine. If you go into the surgery thinking about sabatoging it and eating anything you want....you better rethink it. But you sound like you are on the right path....so make that appointment as soon as possible. The only thing waiting for you is a new life. I've done the Diet Center's too. I got tired making them rich and I was still overweight. Thanks for listening....Helen<br><br>Surgery: 8-14-1997 @ 255 lbs.<br>Today: 1-2-2000 @ 146 lbs.
