Hi everybody hope all is well...I'm still waiting on my surgery date. So far I'm bulking up on my protein intake and just staying positive!

I haven't had it yet love but my last appointment is the 6th then they will submit my info to the insurance company. I'm guess Feb or March I will have it. Right now my biggest task is getting my deductible spent so I don't have to pay full price for the surgery. Everything I have passed and got the okay on.

Thank you all for so much love and positivity I definitely feel a lot better after reading you'lls comments! It's a journey just like everything else. I appreciate each and every one of you! ❤️❤️❤️ I'm surviving PCOS, motherhood and Detroit I'm sure I can survive this!

Hey thanks for responding. I definitely know why I am here and I'm guessing that this is a normal reaction especially with this being a life changing decision. I haven't been around too many people who've had a positive experience or maybe I should say share the positive that's behind it. I'm afraid of the what if and unknowns and I don't want to scare anybody else. It's just when I do the support groups and such their stories scare me lol

Thank you so much for responding. Your description is very similar to mine as far the health issues the only difference is I eat well most of the time when I eat bad there is no over indulge due to the fear of vomit because of the GERD I suffer from. I am an emotional eater more on the compulsive relieve side. When I can't figure something out I tend to eat sweets to calm my nerves. I have calmed down on that as well. The issue is even now I tend to forget to eat especially when under stressed. I also get super bored and tired of repetitive foods quickly so I am afraid I won't eat because I can't force myself to eat what I don't want. That could change. I think my biggest fear is failing...especially at something that's too hard yet too easy to mess up if that makes sense. I am scared of the what ifs which i believe is normal. I also think I'm in this position because I'm alone in this journey I don't really have anybody I can talk to on the regular. The one person that I do she's turning everything into a fear situation for me.

Greetings everyone...I haven't received my date yet and I'm actually reconsidering it. The more I read other people stories the more I become unsure is that normal or am I just being a punk lol???

Well I've been doing tons of reading of success stories, horror stories, good advice bad advice the whole nine. I am stuck in a fork in the road I am really really starting to think I should not do this. Yes I love food I was a chef in training for crying out loud (years ago many many many years ago). Food isn't the reason I've put on weight however food is a comforter for me when I am stressed. I'm hate vomiting and I have other issues that's require me to eat like low blood sugar. How am I suppose to go through with this without tons of regrets? Oh geesh I was so sure until now....I need a good mentor or something somebody help!!

Congrats

Hi there! It sounds like the surgery isn't the issue at all they are just using that as an excuse to pick on you. They were jealous of you because of your marriage and it's super awesome that he has your back. I wouldn't have anything to do with them personally. I know your married to him and his family but I don't think your obligated to like them or socialize with them you said I do to him not them. Don't let them bully you yeah I'm a mom I said bully lol! They will need you before you need them! To h e double hockey sticks with him honey! Keep up the good work!!!

Good morning my insurance will be submitted next month so a surgery date is right around the corner for me as well. That will be the best birthday news ever. I am excited not scared but nervous because unfortunately I love food!

Good luck to everyone
