I almost had a mental breakdown when i had to postpone lol because the job was inconvenienced.....yep heard that correctly lol do you have a date? Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Man! Was supposed to have had i done may 7th but had to postpone til june Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Scared, but also looking forward to this change, so far i have lost 20 lbs since January just by eating differently. After getting news of an actual date i started getting anxious, fear started kicking in, i said if i can do it on my own why do i need to do this, lately ive been hitting a stall on my weightloss, not much motivation just been feeling depressed, feel like im failing myself if i go through with this, but i see the benefits in so many people that have gone through this and i want that also.

Just by eating better, currently started being more active this week, lets see what results i have in another 3 weeks with physical activity and eating right. Motivation is key, my surgery is June 29th, my goal is to lose 20+ lbs by that date. I believe if its possible i can do anything. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

This was a biopsy from the EDG, and thank you for your input, i probably overreacted. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Can someone explain what this means? Does this mean no h pylori?

Haha definitely made my night lol Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

So my surgery is set in stone for June 29th. Hate to wait longer but ive been waiting this long. Excited abd scared!! Woohooo Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

So i got great news today, i got a date for May 7th, when i spoke to my employer, they pretty much said it was an inconcenience due to another co worker going on vacation, we have different roles but they dont like when both of us are out. So i had to postpone til june 29th, its so frustrating being so close then having to wait longer. Sick of feeling this way. Ugh vent done. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I am trying to see it the same way. My goal is also to see if i can change my whole lifestyle and try to include some excercise and see what results i can obtain by that date, if its possible to lose the weight on my own then no surgery is needed i want to believe, i have til june 29th to prove it to myself if i need the tool or not Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Will this affect my chances of surgery? Or complicate the process?

You need to do it for yourself, like you said. Nobody knows how it feels to be in our shoes, only you know the struggles, the feelings you have are normal, to be scared , hell im scared too but im excited, excited for a change. To feel better, to be healthy, to do things havent been able to do in years. At the end of the day, this isnt a short cut, its a tool for us to use, your making the right choice for yourself, these surgeries are done by trained professionals with your health in mind. Youve taken the steps for a reason, dont stall keep pushing forward for You!! Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Im somewhat new to this, currently awaiting my pre op appt. Did all my pre req testing, groups, etc. So tomorrow i believe is to go over results. Unfortunately im waiting on a biopsy result from edg, two weeks to wait on that, was hoping to have all the tests done by tomorrow. Oh well excited either way Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app
