  1. Thank u.. its not really passing. Its a recommendation from Ur Paych dr. She said I was a good candidate.. whoop whoop..
  2. Today I'm super nervous.. I've had my consult and my psych evaluation.. I think its just because its getting closer to the big day.. can i take a Valium before goin into surgery? I know if there is anything in the stomach they won't do the surgery. Its considered unsafe.. pills included? I dunno if I wanna go in there totally aware?
  3. Had my consult today.. it went really well. My ins is covering most of the cost because of family history.. and my bmi.. not a lot is coming outta pocket. So its gonna be a good day.. and I got great news.. now I just gotta get over being nervous about the procedure.
  4. I got scheduled for my consult on thurs... now that I'm gonna talk to the surgeon.. I scared but excited.. last time I had surgery I felt like I wasn't completely under. Hopefully they can give me some more meds to keep me fully under.. I hope all goes well wish me luck... u stayed asleep the whole time right?
  5. Yeah.. after I thought about it.. I thought the same thing.. I walked around for 38 years being 100 pounds over weight.. and now I'm worried about a fat pouch.. big deal.. they say u get emotional and u think of all kinds of stuff.. I guess I thought it would be later on in the game.. geez..
  6. Thank u do much for listening to me. Now that I look back on my post I'm like"who cares" I will be healthy and it will be great.. I guess the emotions thing is making me think of weird things.. lol heck I haven't even had my consult yet and I'm thinking of loose skin.. what's wrong with me.. smh. Thanks again.
  7. I had my seminar the 9th of Feb.. before the seminar all I could think of is the surgery.. and the emotions of it.. but since I sent off my paperwork for a consult reality set in.. now I'm more worried about sagging skin and being strong enough to stick with it..I know a lot of emotions go thru ur head.. so I guess my question is... I'm 249.. will I have major sagging skin on my stomach? I really shouldn't care cause I'm changing my life for the better.. but I'm still curious.. sorry if this is the wrong thread.. thanks for listening..
  8. Thank u.. that helps a lot.. I appreciate u talking with me.
  9. I hope this is the right thread.. my husband doesn't support my decision to have vsg.. thinks its unnatural.. not a good idea.. of course he's found someone with complications and further States his case.. he's very controlling and always doesn't understand y I can't "just go on a diet..exercise more".. I really wanna go this and I think its right for me.. but I don't think my marriage would make it.. should I not do it cause he's insecure and afraid I'm gonna leave once I start loosing the weight? Thanks for listening..
  10. I've read a lot on here. But I'm nervous and excited.
  11. I'm brand new.. I go to my seminar on the 9th of this month.
