I most likely will be having surgery in January, my husband wants to go on a trip to Las Vegas in February to meet with some of our friends. My question is, if I'm only 4 weeks out of surgery do you think I will do ok being away from home? I'm not sure what to expect... or would it be best for my husband to plan to go without me? Thank you Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm a hot mess! A huge ball of anxiety. I say horribly inappropriate rude things to staff when I am like this. They just need to drug my butt when I get there. I am a nurse and was a Paramedic for years so I know everything that is going to be happening and I am totally OK doing it to other people, not having it done to me. I sound awful but I can't help it right now. Wish me luck and maybe the staff too. We will all need it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

Hi everyone, my question is pre-surgery, did any of you feel shame about seeking your gastric sleeve surgery? and if you did, how did you cope and do you have any advice about coping with this feeling? I feel terrible shame. I'm going to meet with my GP on Friday and dread asking for a referral to a consultant so much that my husband is coming with me for support. I live in Ireland and this kind of surgery is the exception rather than the rule. I am very disabled from severe osteoarthritis and live in chronic pain and it is for this reason that I would like to have gastric surgery. I have researched and thought about gastric surgery for about nearly 2 years following knee…

I had a hysterectomy last year and take hormones because of that. I get extremely depressed without the hormones and I have a history of severe depression. So I never even thought about it but was surprised to find that I had to stop taking my hormones 1 month prior to surgery, I found out 1 day before I had to stop taking them when I was reading over my packet from the surgeon again. So I reluctantly stopped taking them. My surgery is Dec 5 but my depression is already growing worse by the day, I'm not sure what to do

Besides being hangry....has anyone experienced fatigue?

I've been delayed in setting a surgery date due to work obligations. I am also an occasional smoker (not cigarettes) but sheesha/hkah. I want to start my pre-op and set a date. Perhaps within the two week window. I have been good about staying away from carbs and sugar, but far from perfect. I was thinking one week of pre-op then the surgery. Is this going to be very risky for me? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Today is the 10th business day from when it was submitted. Aetna said additional information was submitted on 11/2 and told me to check on Monday. Anyone else playing the waiting game? …
