If everything goes as planned ill be having my surgery in January it seems so far away and I'm anxious but I know ill be doing a lot of research throughout the six months. The wiser the better I suppose I'm 25, 5'4", and 230.

I personally know how you feel. I struggle with depression and other mental illnesses already and I've already been seeing them for that so I'm wondering how this is gonna go for me as well.

Congrats and speedy recovery!! usually how long is the hospital stay after surgery?

yes, my insurance requires me to have atleast 3 medical reasons to be approved. I'm insulin resistant, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cellulitus in my legs which is causing boils on my thighs, and I have a hypothyroid. My first appt was today and he didn't say I had to lose weight but it was just a first appt. He said I should be ok to have surgery 01/16. I was there for over an hr and still have so many questions.

what happens if during this six months I lose some weight since ill be following a dietician/nutritionist? Will I still be able to do surgery? My bmi is 39 so I'd still be in the obese range..

I'm also new I had my first appt today and I'm so excited to do this that I'm depressed I have to wait 6 months, which I know is normal, but its finally happening !! I've never had a major surgery so I am pretty nervous about being under and something happening (I'm a mother so im a worry wart)
