My surgery is scheduled June 2. My husband is the only person who knows about it. I just don’t want or need people’s opinions when they don’t really know what I’ve been through. I’d also just prefer no attention around it, positive or negative.

I’ve been researching VSG for close to a year. I’ve devoured everything I could find about it and felt really informed when I went to my appointment this morning. I’m 34, 5’7” and 265 lbs. No health problems yet but I know they’re coming! Doctor said I’d be a great candidate and after answering my questions sent me over to financial/scheduling. My insurance doesn’t cover bariatrics so I already knew the price and what we’d be paying. Scheduled nutrition, psych, and a pre-op class (all on site) and surgery is Nov. 20th! After all my research it’s like things have gone into hyperdrive. I didn’t expect it all to happen so fast and it’s a little scary. Tell me other people wondered if they were doing the right thing for themselves when it got down to the surgery being a reality.
