Hi Kim! Congrats on your surgery date. Guess what, it is the same as mine. I know what you mean about being scared but it's exciting too!. I've not told many people, I am comfortable w/my decision, have super support from my husband and children and from my primary care physician, still it is a very personal decision that I have chosen not to make public knowledge outside the wls support realms at this time. I attend a great wls support group and that has made a world of differenc. Best wishes!
