yes they have support groups every week. i just need to go. Did you get approved yet ?

Im approved for surgery October 10th... im super excited and nervous to.. I keep going back and forth one day im super pumped up and ready for the surgery and the next im like oh god what am i about to do to myself. im sure these are all logical feelings. i think im going to join some support groups before surgery where i can talk to people face to face.

Thank you thats very helpful. congratulations on your weight loss !!!!

I really waited a whole year to see if i could loose the weight and think about the surgery. well i lost 30 pounds gained back 10. and im tired of the up and down diets. so i went for the consultation. and he approved me thank goodness.. definitely stop the chantix if its doing more damage then good.

Thank you and i do agree the benefits out way the fears. i did the labs already now im just waiting for them to do my upper gi and psych eval... im excited and scared.

I had my first date with the doctor he said gastric bypass i was comfortable with his decision until i told my dad and he filled me with fears. There so comfortable with my weight and there weight they don't want to think about it i guess.. i put all his fears to rest i guess but it left me thinking about the fact my stomach will be so small. I guess i'm just scared. I know i'm ready for a change and i'm going to go forward with the gastric bypass. just wondering if anyone else had fears about what to eat and wondering about how small there stomach is going to be. and the possible dumping syndrome while at work ??
