So I have been back and forth a lot over the past year about getting this procedure done. 2 of my family members both have done the sleeve and the bypass surgery and their progress is amazing! The closer it gets the more I am getting nervous. I have read a lot of these discussions and the liquid post op diet scares me. The hormone changes and mood changes scare me too. It is totally a decision that I won't change because I am so in NEED of this but... Nerves are kicking in. To know a little about me... I am 30 years old and a mother of an 8 year old daughter. I have struggled with weight my entire life, as I know many of us have, and I have tried all the diets possible. None of which got me to where I want/need to be. I gave up on believing I would ever be healthy and happy in my skin until I got divorced. When I got divorced I moved into my own place with my daughter for the 1st time in my adult life. I was unpacking and cleaning and became so EXHAUSTED I was in physical pain and had to sit/lay down. I was so embarrassed and ashamed of myself that I had become that tired over CLEANING! I told myself that day that was it. I couldn't live like this anymore. My insurance requires 6 weight management appointments and a psych appointment as well as a sleep study and a endo/gi screening. I have completed 2 weight management appointments and my psych and sleep study are in the beginning of August. I am so happy I found this website to have all the support of all of you guys going through it as well!!!
