If I'm not on the boards reading, I'm thinking about being on the boards reading, or how can I make my work schedule correspond to having surgery sooner, and and and....etc....

I assume because of the vastness of all the decisions, changes etc that the obsession is totally normal, but sheesh I feel like a crazy lady. It's a good thing my friends love me or they might shoot me for my one track mind.

LOL !!!!

I had never even heard of vsg .... after being told by specialists in one week that I needed to lose 50+ pounds, I started researching what my options were. I knew I didn't want bypass surgery and found the lapband. Since it was reversible, I was sure that would be my answer. However the more I read about fills and complications, I started changing my mind. I discovered vsg on another board and was thrilled. I had also met a gal about a month before who had sleeve surgery, but I didn't know what she was talking about. I only "heard" the part about her going from a size 22 to a 6 in one year. I called her back and got lots of great info from her.

Mainly, my husband was the only person locally who knew about the surgery ahead of time. I am sure I drove him crazy. I spent three days glued to the computer, emailing clinics and coordinators, reading and reading.

I am very happy with my decision and only wish I would have known about it sooner! And yes, I think many of us obsessed with the surgery itself, food, etc :redface1:
