It's weird, some days I'm really anxious and that's all I think about and other days I'm like totally chill. Honestly, I'm just ready to be on the losers bench, I'm ready to be healthy, motivated, and feel good about myself. What about you? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

That's the hardest battle for me, trying to lose weight while also trying to take advantage of the fact this will be the last time for awhile I can enjoy some of these things!

I am scheduled for September 13th which is 6 days before my birthday.

Sitting in waiting room. Surgery at 9am.

Thank you, I know right! My doctors office hasn't submitted my paperwork yet. They're going to submit it September 1st which is going to mark my 3 month supervised nurse visits and hope for the 13th. I hope to get an approval before the 13th.

My greatest regret was not doing it sooner when I wanted to, but doing it later because I had to!!!
I wasted years living a life I didn't need to. Don't do the same and listen to all of the great aforementioned advice. He, your family and friends don't fully understand what you're going through. You do!!! Proceed...

You need to do what you need for yourself. You are young looking in your picture, and 200 lbs isn't something to ignore. Your health will start to deteriorate, and you won't be able to do things the older you get. Now is the time to take control of your own life and do what you need to do.
Tell your fiance to support you or back off. If he loves you, then he'd be there for you, even if he can't take a bunch of time off, he can be there for you mentally. (besides, tell him sex will be through the roof after you lose some weight hahaha)
And for the record, the vast majority of WLS patients are fine by the time they are released from the hospital. Yes, it's nice to have someone there to help you, but statistically you will be healthy enough to take care of yourself for the most part.
This is about YOU, not what your fiance is comfortable with.

Thank you everyone for your support and well wishes.
@@KristenLe I have about 200 pounds to lose maybe? I showed him the video if the procedure and nothing good came out of that because the only thing he kept talking about was me potentially being out of work, not having some to take care of me (he's a police officer so his job is too demanding to be taking off all the time), having any complications (potentially dying), Me needing to go back and fourth to the hospital(if need be) etc. Thats what I keep telling him and thinking, If he can't support me then we don't need to be together. He gets upset when I say that, but September is slowly approaching and I told him I'm getting the surgery wether he likes it or not. So you can be with me or against me.

I want to see my ankles and collar bone again!

I want to cross my legs comfortably. Do yoga without my belly getting in the way. Buy something from any store in the mall. Hike,bike, and explore the places I haven't been physically able to go!
