Ughhh, I have been on this board for a couple of years, lurking around, wanting the surgery. I finally have the cash, and I just want my passport card to get here already! It's all I can think about. I feel like my life is on hold and I just want it over and donewith. Plus, I eay wayyyyy too much, knowning that surgery is now tangible. Anyone else?

Yes I am obsessing about it a good bit. I have everything done and just waiting to see if insurance will cover or if I will be a self pay. I hate this part where everything is done and it is out of my hands... LOL

I'm on this site every day and on my scale sometimes three times a day (as if the numbers are going to change in three hours). I meet with my Surgeon next Wednesday, so maybe I will be able to relax a little after that is over. Sometimes I know I am driving my hubby crazy but I can't help myself.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one obsessing.

I too am at the end of all the hoops, have my last of the 6 month visits with my doctor on Monday then will be submitted to insurance that day hopefully! Hoping for a sleeve date mid August....

I'm afraid you're not the only one who's obsessed. I finished all my loops, and am waiting for the psych eval to get over to my surgeon's office and then off to insurance. Hopefully some time next week, we'll know when surgery is. I'm hoping for sometime in August as well. I'm constantly lurking around the boards and reading, thinking maybe it will make it happen faster .

I am obsessed about it! It is almost all I think about. I just wish my date would get here already. I want to be on the other side and healing and dealing and losing! The time goes faster than we think....but the days are slow. We will get there...don't worry!

I am like Autumn, I can't wait to start my new beginning. I still have several days before my surgery, but I already have my fridge stocked, most of the items I need to take in a suitcase already.

I tired of jumping through insurance hoops and took matters into my own hands. I would be sitting here this time next year still waiting and still fat.

Yes! I've been getting on this site since january and kinda tossing around the idea of surgery and finally decided to do it. Its all I talk about and think about! Now that I'm scheduled for the 20th of july I'm really getting obsessed bout it. Its not good bc I get into the "what ifs". Glad 2 see I'm not the only one.

Yes this is about all I think about. My surgery is Monday at 9:30. I just got back from getting broths, Soups, and GasX LOL Oh and my prescription for the nasuea medication patch to put behind my ear the night before surgery. I've got my Protein powders ready too. Now all I have to do is pack a small bag.

This time next week....I'm be a loser!! One happy loser.

Glad to see I am not alone! All I think about lately is food and get heavier. Barf. I thought about waiting it out on insurance, but for me it'd take forever. Viva La Mexico! (For me, at least!) Come on, passport card, get here already. I'll see you all on the loser's bench, baby!!!

That is exactly how I felt before my surgery. I joined in November before my March surgery, so I was on here multiple times a day researching, reading, panicking...lol you name it. I think it would be odd if you weren't thinking about something so drastic in your life. Good luck to you!!

I TOTALLY feel you , I made the decision and now have to do the 6 months of hoop jumping LOL it's all I think about, talk about, plan for.... I am seriously obsessed. I have these serious in depth conversations with people about the merits of this surgery over all the others, and I vlog about my journey ( Even though it's JUST beginning) It's just everything to me at the moment, I know it's right

It's all I am thinking about too! I went and had my EKG today, will have my Phyc and nutrition on the 14th, having blood work Done tomorrow so I am fasting right now. I just read about a lady vomiting for a long time post op. Yikes. My heart goes out. Having my surgery at Pudget Sound surgical center.

One word, lol, duh....

All I thought about, all I talked about, all I dreamed about...gah, it was horrible until I had it done. Then the closer it got the more I obsessed about it and the mood swings, eesh! Happy, scared, excited, terrified, excited again...

it's totally normal what you're going through. I think we all went through it. It's a major event in your life!
