Hello, I just joined this morning as well. I am waiting for pych eval to be sent to clinic and then sent to insurance. I realy hope it doesn't take to long as my insurance runs out soon. I will be 26 at the end of april.
I realy think i need this surgery to live. I have high cholestoral. My triglycerides were over 600! My blood sugar was a little high too at the last check. My weight is 271lbs and I'am 5'7". I have a long history of diabetes and heart disease in my family and no one has been as big as me. If i don't have this surgery i think i will be dead by 35. I also have joint problems in my knees and ankles that have bothered me since high school and lower back pain.
I have a lot of concerns of the aftermath of the surgery. Will i like my body? Will my boobs look like pancakes? Will people realy treat me differenty? And unfortuantly I'm afraid of dating afterwards. Is this guy just wanting to go out with me because i lost weight? These are the questions I am hoping to answer on here.
thankyou for any replies.
