I feel like im getting depressed too, i just keep telling myself its not that, its just that i cant wait to start my new life. Patience is not for me, lol. I try and stop counting down the days, but every time i wake up im so excited another useless day has passed which makes me one more day closer to surgery. I hate getting dressed too, i just want this old me GONE for GOOD. Im miserable with myself, and i too feel like im just going through the motions every day. Good luck, our time will be here soon!

I havent had surgery yet, but I feel the EXACT same way. I feel like im in a fog waiting for my surgery date (36 days), and not focusing on any relationships with friends (including my boyfriend, who decided this past Monday he wanted a "break" from us because I've been a b***h lately, which is probably true, lol). I've joined 3 WLS forums, and from the time i get to work until about noon im litterally glued to them. So bad. I dont wanna work, i dont wanna do anything, i just want my surgery date to be here!

Im still waiting for surgery, but here's my timeline so far... Thinking about WLS since August 2010; Called for an appointment October 12, 2011; Went for orientation, consult with surgeon, had blood drawn, psych eval, received pre-approval from insurance & scheduled surgery on October 19, 2011; Had ultrasound October 20, 2011; Pre-op appt schedule for November 17, 2011; and Surgery scheduled for December 9, 2011. Now im just counting down the days! Ive joined 3 separate forums for WLS and am addicted to them! I want surgery now!

OMG i had carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand on September 12th, and i have my left hand scheduled for November 21st, and then WLS on December 9th. I was a little worried about having that many surgeries so close together, but now im not! Thanks!

My surgery is December 9th, and im so excited for all of us!

I love these forums because I just keep reading stories of people who are JUST LIKE ME. My surgery is scheduled December 9th, and I too have been eating out of control because I wont be able to after the surgery, why not do it now right? But like you I cant fit into most of my clothes and refuse to buy new till I lose weight. My boyfriend of 5.5 years also says hes supportive, but when I tried to talk to him about my insecurities (because I feel horrible about myself right now), he told me I cant love someone else if i dont love myself, and i need to work on my issues first, so now we're on a break. I am livid at him for not being there when i need him, and im not sure if he is supportive of my decision to have surgery anymore. My mom is also not supportive at all (she is also tiny). Luckily i have great friends and co-workers who are very supportive, and no matter what i am going through with this surgery for ME, nobody else, and thats what you need to focus on. I am so anxious for my date to get here, i swear ive been counting down and its making it go slower, grrr! Well good luck with everything, and thank you for sharing!

Thanks for your post, I am having surgery with Dr. Braverman on December 9th, and its nice to hear good things about your surgeon before surgery!

I have surgery with Dr. Braverman on December 9th, how was your experience?

He's my surgeon too, but my surgery isn't until December 9th. You'll have to tell me how he is!
