Tessie, I am exactly three weeks post-op and it was the best decision, next to marrying my wife, that I have ever made. I just got back from my PCP and I am now down 46 pounds.
Those last minute fears are normal. I think my 9 year old daughter was more scared than I was. She thought I was going to come home 200 pounds lighter and she would not recognize me. Talking to people on this site made things a whole lot easier for me also. If you have any questions or concerns please e-mail me. Good luck with everything.
