Hey Everyone! I have been stalking the site for about two months now! You girls rock!! your testimonies have been awesome and it has really helped me in my decision making process. I have wanted this procedure for at least 12 years and I believe that now is my time. I won't' pretend like I am not nervous, but I am still excited.

Here is a little about me!
I am 34 years old, 5'4 and 175 lbs. My highest weight was 270 and it has taken me a long time to finally be at a stable weight. I have gained and loss so many times and with exercise and hard work, I am now stable at 175. I have been overweight my entire life...well, since I was 10 I've been extremely heavy. So, this is not my goal weight. I would love to be 150 lbs. but that just hasn't happened so I decided to go ahead to get the surgery.
I see how awesome everyone elses pics look and my biggest fear is that I will go through all of this and the results not be what I want. I am afraid to have super high expectations because I don't want to be disappointed, but I don't want to think negatively either. I haven't really gotten excited and my surgery is 4 days away. My friends are all happy for me and I look forward to getting to that level of excitement. I just want everything to be ok. Did anyone else feel this way?
By the way, I don't have any before pictures just yet. I took some with my phone but I was afraid my boys would look in my phone and be branded for life! LOL!

I just started posting on this site not too long ago and am also nervous about putting pictures up. I am going to be getting a tummy tuck, breast augmentation with lift, and liposuction. However none of this will take place until I shed about 50 pounds. Daunting! Good luck with your surgery!

Thanks! I keep feeling like I need to lose more weight too. My doctor says that I am a good candidate. My worries is that I will spend all of this money and not look like everyone else. I've come too far to be disappointed. I pray that I am not. I set out to lose about 10 lbs in the last month and that didn't happen.

If your doctor says your are a good candidate, then I would trust that. I was told when I weighed a bit less that I was a good candidate, also. They are the experts right :) Your surgery will be a great success, and you deserve it!

Welcome to RealSelf! I'm excited for you. Only post photos if you're comfortable doing it. It's very helpful to others, but not everyone's cup of tea. If you do post photos I recommend cropping out your head/face.
Your big day is coming right up. Do you have all your supplies ready?
December 15, 2012
No, I have not gone shopping for any supplies. I have been so busy trying to get caught up at work and with school. I have not had an opportunity to prepare at all. I am up working late now and have to work tomorrow. I keep telling myself that I will have plenty of time to rest next week so I will work until I can't anymore before Monday. What are the main items most people need?

Day of treatment
WELL, TODAY IS THE DAY! I'm not freaking out yet....
WELL, TODAY IS THE DAY! I'm not freaking out yet. I am more anxious than excited. I've been heavy for so long. I'm trying to imagine being on the flatside and it is hard to do. I've never seen myself there before bc I was over 200 lbs by my first year in Jr high. It just seems surreal. I pray all goes well today.
