I have surgery Monday and it's my birthday. I am so scared I will fail. That the pain will last for more than a few day. That all of this will blow up in my face. I am having to surgery no matter what it's the best gift I can give myself. My emotions are all over the place right now.

@@Joymarie333 keep you head up. It sounds like they forgot to fax some papers.

@ I just had that same moment last night. My birthday is This Monday 7/27 same day as my surgery. I having been all over the place happy,excited, nervous, scared. I know that the best present I can give my self is the surgery. I wish you the very best and everyone here. I will pray for you please do the same for me. Jennifer

My doctor's office required a EDG. Because they don't see inside the stomach during surgery. I found out I have a high level of acid so they started me on medication to help before and after surgery.

Joymarie333 have you heard anything back from Atena? Keep your head up sometime they're just slow.

@@LaLaLucy be excited!!!! everything will work out.

@@samskiles I emailed your yahoo. I hope u got it.

Unfortunately due to my date my hubby can't get off work. But I I'm super excited @@skoob where are you having your surgery?

My surgery is July 27th same day as my birthday. I live in dallas,tx metroplex area. Looking for someone to share my experience with. I have no family here and my husband has mixed emotions.

Good luck steve_64!!

@@toler48 I get it. I do think about the extra skin but they also make surgery for that lol. My heaviest friend probably needs to lose 60lbs. I'm a shame to say I need 200+ I will be 34 on my surgery date. I have been very luck only to need a water pill for blood pressure and I've had asthma my whole life. I don't think I can go much longer and stay this healthy so it's sleeve for me. My husband wants me to have surgery but he also wants me to be his food buddy I can't do both and he is realizing that. I want to live with out regrets.

@@toler48 thanks for your support. I really don't have friends that need bariatric surgery so they don't understand my struggle. My kids are teenagers so beside my 15 year old daughter I will be by myself day of surgery. Who's your insurance company?

Thanks you guys. @@MzB may i ask how much weight you've lost and how long before you could walk on a treadmill?

I super excited about my new journey. I can believe it's happening so quick. But does an else have the feeling of shame? I a shamed I couldn't lose the weight myself. Hell just the fact that in 15 years I have gain 200lbs. I haven't told many friends or family members because of it. Am I just crazy for feeling like that.

Hey samskiles. I'm also going to the nicholson clinic with Dr carlton. My surgery is July 27th. I live in plano. And would love to have a sleeve buddy.

Thank you so much joymarie333. Let me know what happens with atena. I was worried too. But As long as you did all your requirements they will approve.
