Making Myself Sick/crazy



Recommended Posts

I'm first to admit I have very little patience but since my paperwork was submitted to the insurance company I've gone off the wall! I have chest tightening/pain. I'm smoking like a chimney (even I noticed this), I'm not hungry much but still getting heartburn & indigestion(not normal for me). Is this all anxiety???? I want to scream!!!! I did pass my cardio testing 100% so I know chest pain is not a heart attack but you sure could fool me.

I'm all alone in this even though I live with my son & daughter in law, they have their life & I stay pretty much in my room (its large & comfy so its not a problem) but I feel so alone, no one to talk to about this.

Insurance can take 2 weeks or more to decide, I'll be a basket case by then!!!

Has anyone gone thru this?

I know what you're going through. I am in the exact same boat as you. This waiting game sucks and in my head I keep going over all the things that could go wrong (rejection letter). I am irritated, emotional over everything and can't sleep at night.

I think your feelings are normal. All you can do is try to distract yourself in the meantime. Go shopping, listen to music, exercise, etc.

I am self pay but the surgery is all I can think about. I check this site several times a day.

I think you have a lot time before you will have your surgery date so nothing to worry about yet. It took my 2 years to get this here. my date is one week from today talk about fear.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
