Katherine, I have my surgery in February. I was the most emotional at the time I was going through the process of seeing my all the doctors. I didn't really cry when I talked with my Doctor but the tears just seemed to come from nowhere. I guess because I was sitting there actually admitting the fact that I needed help and really confronted the fact that I medically needed this help and could not do it any other way. I no I was fearful at first as to how the professionals would react, but they all seemed to understand. I remember telling my personal physician that I felt like I was throwing in the towel, because I couldn't do it on my own (tears running down my face),We went to High School together and I am 49 now. He said, "NO, you are making a decision to change. You are not giving up. You want to make that change and you deserve to make it. I support you completely. It will be a tool for you to use to achieve your goal and improve your health. Throwing in the towel would be to do nothing." Now that I am approved for surgery and no longer holding my breath, my surgery date can't get here fast enough. I don't seem to be emotional right now. I am more excited about the upcoming surgery. I am sure I well be emotional again the closer it gets. But you know, thats ok too. Being emotional can be a good thing. It means you are ALIVE!! Good luck with your journey. Teresa
