Hi CTFEE, I have my sleeve done around that time also, I will be glad when everything is over and done with, who is your dotor?

Greetings everyone...I haven't received my date yet and I'm actually reconsidering it. The more I read other people stories the more I become unsure is that normal or am I just being a punk lol???

L.o.v.e, I believe it's a normal thing to be concerned, but if you have come this far why turn back now? There must be a reason why you decided to have WLS in the first place and you obviously need it like the rest of us here but you have to make sure it's the right decision for you. When you are sick and tired of being sick and tired you will do what's best for you, I wish you all the best and we are here anytime you need a ear. Good luck to you.

Hey thanks for responding. I definitely know why I am here and I'm guessing that this is a normal reaction especially with this being a life changing decision. I haven't been around too many people who've had a positive experience or maybe I should say share the positive that's behind it. I'm afraid of the what if and unknowns and I don't want to scare anybody else. It's just when I do the support groups and such their stories scare me lol

Is this a current forum? I don't see any new postings

L.o.v.e. I don't read the negative stuff because everyone's experience is different, I try to maintain a positive attitude so that my surgery can have a positive impact. In my years on this planet it's been my experience that most of the things we worry about never happens and we just scare ourselves like crazy. I do know that things can go wrongs but I choose to deal with those things if and when they occur. It's normal to be concerned but don't let fear hold you back from living the life you were meant to live, this is a blessing for so many people and I want to add years to my life not just for me but for my family as well.

l do belive this is a current forum.

i was approved for surgery with ins., i have my consultation with my surgeon on the 14th.. what should expect at this appt?

will i receive a surgery date.. or will more test need to be done?

Good morning all!, Im so glad i refound this thread as i have named 2016 the year of my restart. Im almost at year 3 and have lost a little over 100 lbs. So far i uave only regained 10 of that but I lost it last year so now im struggling to keep a good maintenance plan. I need the accountability that as a food addict i cant give myself. Kinda like a fox guarding the chicken coop! LoL

My goal is to lose the next 15 lbs before my 3 yr mark. Daunting yes as my weight loss is now about my choices rather than the surgery......

Thanks for letting me ramble, youll be seeing me post again and if i can help anyone just let me know.
