Thanks everyone for the well wishes!
Yes, I did not enter into this decision lightly. Many months have gone into preparing and education. Given my situation, most would agree that the risk of not moving forward are worse than the risk of doing it. Everyone is different and have different issues so everyone must make up their own mind about it.
I can tell you also that even though I work for an awesome company and have awesome insurance, they have not updated their insurance benefits in over 10 years. That being said, my employer still excludes WLS on our insurance and I have had to pay all the cost upfront.
Please pray that there are no complications that would negatively impact my family financially. I purchased a self pay insurance package to help protect against the most common complications but one never knows about this stuff!
Again, thanks for your well wishes and prays and I will inform the VAF as soon as I can on how well things went!

Brian, After reading all your posts I don't doubt for a second you researched this procedure and made a good decision for yourself and family. Good luck on Monday and I look forward to your recovery posts! After all, while you recover you will have time to write up more interesting things!
