    I know what you mean...I've been so excited and anticipating the day I'd get my surgery date, and now that I have it, I'm freaked out. It all suddenly became very very real.

    I'm trying to remind myself that I'm doing this to SAVE my life. That not doing this is going to put me in the grave too soon. the surgery is the Best thing I can do for myself and, by extension, my family.

    I know how you feel. I'm 5'6" and I weigh 275. I have horrible back, knee, foot and side pain. I hate going anywhere that I know I will be walking alot, because I KNOW I will be in pain. I work in a classroom with 2 yr olds, I can no longer squat down to talk to them and I don't know if it feels worse or LOOKS worse when I get up/down on the floor to play with them. I have no confidance, I let people treat me like crap because I guess I don't feel likenI deserve better. I feel that I haven't even LIVED yet, and I am 44 yrs old. I AM READY TO START LIVING!!!!

    Hi all! I am hoping all will be done and approved so I'm ready for surgery in Spring -- I'm thinking March. My insurance is proving to be really good...no required weight loss period but my surgeon wants me to drop at least 5% of my weight before the surgery. I'm halfway to reaching that goal. I have to meet with the NUT twice, appts one month apart. Also required to see the psych 3 times...initial consult, back for testing, then final visit to go over results. If all is well after that then my surgeon will schedule my surgery date. I couldn't get that first appt with the psych until mid Dec.
