Jamie, My name is Kris (Newme55) and I live in Reno, Nevada. I had a Reux N Y gastric bypass in Feb 2012. It was the best thing I ever did. YES, I too had days that I wanted to chicken out. So happy that I didn't! I have lost 63 pounds so far and losing inches like crazy! Don't chicken out...it is so worth the work! You will do great. Keep in touch Jamie....Kris
