Just got back from my shrink appt and I'm terrified! I don’t know how I'm going to deal with the psychological issues I'm going to have with emotional eating and my smoking habits. Those are the only things in my life I like and I'm going to have to cut them out! I have an addictive personality and I'm scared of not having that comfort food anymore and all. UGH! I wanna crawl in a hole!

Just got back from my shrink appt and im terrified! I don’t know how im gonna deal with the psycological issues im gonna have with emotional eating and my smoking habits. Those are the only things in my life I like and im gonna have to cut them out! I have an addictive personality and Im scared of not having that comfort food anymore and all. UGH! I wanna crawl in a hole!

I wanted to know how anyone battled with quitting smoking before your surgery and how long do u have to be smoke free before they will do it? Its hard enough having to drop 10 before surgery and then have to quit smoking too! Im gonna be throwing plates!

You guys are awesome! Thanks for being there for me. I would have thought my friends of most my life wouldnt be so stupid about this but i say screw them! I too am a little embarrassed i got so fat and have issues controlling my food. I have people say why dont u just work out? Why cant you just stop eating? People who have never been heavy say i dont get it? Well everyone has their own addictions and mine is food! Im not gonna let them discourage me. I appreciate all the support and thanks for listening to me. I know a lot of people dont understand the difference with lap band but some people do and still are ignorant about it. This is a big step for me and I have been so depressed for so many years that its time to make a change before my life passes me by!

Thanks guys I had a bad day and i think my nerves are getting the best of me! Im a wreck thinking about surgery!!

Everyone is driving me nuts! They say get ready to puke all the time and get ready for feeling like shit! I have had it!

What was the psych appointment like? Was it comfortable?

Ya my BMI is at 42 no diabetes but high blood pressure. I go in on the 31st for my consul so im sure they will tell me then. I have my psyciatrist appt on june 11th. When do they schedule the surgery after consul?

Hey all just wondered what kind of diet they put u on before the surgery. I have my consul on the 31st and i have been eating like its goin out of style. Mental thing im sure. I also need to quit smoking! YIPES!:kiss

WELL SAID THAT JUST MADE ME FEEL 100% better!

Awesome! I want to know how everything goes im a nervous wreck about it! Thanks!

Ya im doing this for myself. I have tried the diets and im just so hungry all the time. I delfiintely need to change my ways and get healthier. Im afraid that im gonna keep getting heavier and end up with health problems. I do have an appt with a psycologist on the 11th of june so I will talk about it then too. I HATE exercising more than anything and the funny thing is i get more hungry after i exercise and end up eating more! Im at my breaking point im so obsessed with my weight and dont even wanna wake up most the time because i will eat! Thats not a good way to live!!

Hey all have my appt for my consultation on may 31. Im a serious wreck about it! I have tried so many diets been up and down the scale and Im ready to be thin! If you gay and overweight it sucks! I need to be back to myself and come out of my house more often! i sit indoors and feel sorry for myself! Any insights on how i get through this will help! Thanks! Wade in seattle

Well said! Im glad to see others who have my same phobias. I sometimes think why am i so obsessed with my weight? I know when i go into public i feel like people are staring and making fun of me and most the time its just stupid! Im always beating myself up after falling off diets and im just burned out with the whole process! I want my band to be done and overwith!

I live in seattle gay man here. My appt is may 31st for the consultation and surgeon. Im stoked to get thin again since if you gay and fat its the holocaust! My friends are all 3 pounds and complain about how fat they are makes me sick! I cant wait to get back to looking good and feeling good!

Thank you! I know when i was thin i felt great and was out and living so I cant wait til that day once again! Did you have an appt with a pscologist? How was that what did they ask? When did u get your surgery date?

:embarassed: Hey all I have been battling my weight for over 5 years now. I have locked myself up in my house for all this time not wanting to even go in public. I have been on endless diets and so hungry and tired all the time! SO this surgery is definitely what i need. Im an emotional eater so im a little afraid i will lose my mind when i cant eat that burger and fries. I have my surgeon appt on may 23rd to get all set up and my psycologist evaluation on June 11th then after that schedule surgery. Im 30 5'10 300 pounds and miserable. Im scared to death to get surgery so any comforting comments would be appreciated. I would love to hear your stories. Please let me know. Thanks!
