I didn't tell my mom either. I'm sure she knows someone somewhere who has had surgery and had all kinds of problems. Hubby and kids know and are supportive though. I'll tell mom maybe when I'm on the other side and she can see I'm alive and well.

If she didn't live so close to me I wouldn't have told her! I know that once I'm over recovery time and losing weight she will be ok!

Yes, once they see how much healthier we are and how much better we feel they will be. They're moms, they worry ;)

My psych eval is the 14 and I cannot wait. This could happen by the end of November! Good luck, Shelby!

I can totally relate to being READY to begin! I have contemplated WLS for many years and I have finally come to realize that I can't lose enough weight on my own in order to live a healthy life. Tomorrow 10/02 is the first initial appointment with the surgeon. I am so very excited and a tad bit nervous about the unknown. I've never been a "normal" size, so that's very unknown to me. Hopefully because my surgery will be self paid I won't have as many hoops to jump through in order to start my new journey!

Happy thoughts for everyone!! :rolleyes:

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
