Hoping for WLS

I am currently in the process of getting approved by my insurance company for RNY (Gastric Bypass Surgery).

I've been through a range of different emotions. Most recently I was in a very deep depression just wishing that "the time" was here. Sick of waiting. I've now moved onto being very nervous and scared. Mostly of complications or even dying. Ack! I think for the most part the odds are on my side as I am in good health generally. No Co-Morbids. I am just too damn fat. I am miserable. My knees scream at me when I go up and down stairs. My back aches when I stand at the sink doing dishes. My feet are killing me from plantar fasciitis. I'm a mess. I have a long list of things to say how much it sucks to be just about 300 lbs.

Hopefully I will know sometime in March when I can have my surgery. I just love reading other people's stories about their WLS experiences and successes. This will be my experience - hopefully with photos and some interesting reading to go along with it.
