Im Amy and pre-op. My surgery is January 16 th 2018, I am mixed on it and going through with it for my little boy that needs me. I have never been successful with loosing and keeping it off or even a healthy weight before because it has been used as a " high" and so it is getting an enemy gone that I have depended on as a distraction for decades. It is scary in a way yes. Im concerned more for the pain afterwards because I have a recurrant hernia that has already been repaired twice. This may be a double surgery and I am just worried for afterwards. I need to do something and I have never done this before. Hi everyone!
