Does Anyone Else Or Has Anyone Else...

... laid in bed constantly wondering and worrying about the decision to have WLS and adding to it leaving the country to do it... wishing your brain would SHUT UP and let you sleep?

  • Allllll day and Night!!! Especially since its right before Christmas! Would hate to ruin it for my family....

  • I've had to swamp myself with school work, music, sleep, ANYTHING to distract me. I don't even have a date yet but I'm obsessed with my surgery. It's become my life in the last few weeks.

Paigers- I think about it 24/7. I am obsessed with my surery. What is hard is my husband does not agree with my decision and will not even speak about it. I feel very alone but I will not change my mind. I really hop I run into you there. Talk soon and hang in there.

Is your husband going with you? Yes we must! When u get your room number inbox me :)

No my husband will not go with me because he does not agree with what I am doing but knows he can't tell me no. I am going with a friend. Will pm you when I have more info.

I wish you luck! I'm sure your husband will come around. He's prob just worried and uncertain!

I am going nuts too, trying to decide which doctor, or even should I do the surgery!! I have no support from family. They think I should lose the weight on my own and should never consider going to Mexico. (I am self pay). I am up at 3am looking on this board everynight, lurking, searching, trying to find answers. Going NUTS!!

I can totally relate. I did a lot of research b4 making my decision on whether to go at all and which doc to use. As for my support system... They are reluctantly supportive. They don't agree with my choice but they've chosen to stand behind me... grudgingly.

I was the exact same way. I was totally obsessed and found it so hard to concentrate on anything else for the longest. When I had to push my date back twice I was so frustrated, I had to try to put it totally out of my mind to function.
