@@proudgrammy that is great advice.

Your right everyone says this is right for me and they are seeing it from a different perspective.... Outside in so trusting everyones judgements...my psych eval says what i am feeling is completely normal to everyone else...my kids are my everything and i lost my parents due to illness when i was 19...my kids are 18 and i worry if something happens while on the table they will go through what i did with no parents...and thats my fear..

I have been eating healthy for a very VERY long time and working out...this is gonna be a easy in my mind...its the SURGERY i dont feel comfortable with.

.how on earth are you from.mattapan and never heard of mt auburn hospital??!!

Does anyone feel as they should get approval for the surgery before they make you jump through all these hoops? Many dont get approved.

So i just saw the video all of me...i have mixed feelinga but the hardest was seeing the surgery...i nearly started to cry..its a scary thing for me..im trying to be strong but so hard....im looking forward to Wednesday and getting answers...

Anyone in the new england area who would like to take this journey together and develop a support group...im in the boston metro area.

Oh wow!! Thats sooo soon....ugh...im jealous! But scared...so now what are your next steps?

Absolutely! Im very petite...after my first son lost the weight was skinny (been skinny my whole life) after i had my twin boys...not so lucky....i carry my weight well...so i dont look big at all...big boobs, small waist, etc hour glass but the glass is too full lol...my height is what they tell me is the big issue height/weight...so anyways off we go..i guess as a woman im looking forward to easy clothes buying..lol...i work out now and always have so body wise im strong...so im ready!...last they told me it would be about 2 mo for me to drop all the weight...since its only 70lbs they need me to lose...so i know i have it easier then most but its still a process...im on no medication, and other then hym, organic eats, no carbs, no sugar not much else i can do so this is what they feel would benefit me...so giddy up!

PM me we can exchange personal emails abd whoas lol.

You k ow im still nervous about it all too but more then anything excited for a bew life...the surgery part scares the bajesus out of me! But the rest i am ok with...i have whst they call emersion day wed the 27...thats when i pay my fees and spend the whole day there and go over the whole thing from beginning to end...i have a list of questions and hope they get answered there....you about 10yrs younger then me...so better now then later...they wanted to give me the surgery 2 yrs ago...i refused but its time now.

Good luck!!! How you feeling in general?

Why on pain meds?

Well that is comforting...What days where your surgery? I here mine will be on a monday I am going to try to get them to do it on an thurs...cause then I can arrange for the office to be closed...

I have not had my surgery yet...i actually dont even have my date yet...they said march-june..ugh!! What i was saying is inwork 12 hr days 5-6 days a week...i cant imagine NOT being at work...so much wont get done. The stress of that alone is killing me....

@czech...foe your cough go buy a new pillow cause it will be fluffy... When you need to cough hug it tight and cough...its suposed to do wonders....let me know...

First off boo redsox lol...lately it seems... Im in watertown...i have not gotten my surgery date yet either have 3 appointments... For me its more like hurry up so i can plan my life! I am fearing the surgery in general but the not knowing when is worse!

Hi sumbrown!! Hope your feeling better...feel free to hit me up anytime...how long was your surgery? Im getting ready for work...thats one thing im afriad of...i work for a doctor and run the office..mw being down is such a concern.

When was your sugery? How many days where you down?

Hello Everyone! I am new the group and in anything obesity. I am looking for support and followers through my Journey. My surgery will be at Mt. Auburn Hospital which I can tell you that I am already not feeling that...and not to mention no one I have met including myself feels I need the surgery...so I am still trying to wrap my head around it all.

I started out with Hi Triglycerides, than yrs later to pre-diabetes...to sleep apnea and now to type 2 under control diabetes....i don't need meds etc just need to monitor my sugar intake...i dont even have to stick my finger thank god...

So I guess my body says i need the surgery and doctors...just my mind and everyone says no...so still struggling with it...I carry my weight well so most people who need the surgery are 3-4 times larger then me. I am very small and petite...so I guess that I why I am having a hard time with all this...so follow me why dont you!?

I have already had my psych eval, nutrition meeting, I have immersion day on the 27th of Jan (this month) and going to 2 classes soon...all I am waiting for is my surgery date...since I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes couple weeks ago everything is happening so fast...surgery date they say will be in March/June!! Since Diagnosed with Type2 I am stricter on my food intake etc and already have lost 10lbs with out trying...I am going to the gym 4-5 times a week...even bought myself a fitbit HR which I love...so Im ready...guess my mind isnt...

Oh and I have to pay a $200.00 fee on immersion day...which are costs ins does not pay...$200 is not bad I think...not sure what others pay.

My husband is my biggest help and supporter. I have NEVER had a surgery not even broken bone or stitches so scared...
