I have a weird sleeping pattern.

I am a self pay and will be having surgery this coming Monday... I am excited! But it's hard to believe that this is about to happen. I keep thinking that something will happen, preventing me if having surgery.

Did they give you an estimated time on when will they get an answer? I hope it goes through with flying colors. Unless your going through this I couldn't imagine anyone understanding the nervousness and excitement one feels. Good luck and I hope it goes well :-)

I keep trying to calm my mind, but I can't. I think part of the reason is that I have always been bigger than others and eventually I found myself being obese. So to have this surgery which will help me get this weight off and become a normal weight again is mind boggling. But I am excited to start this next chapter of my life.

I think this is exactly what you needed. Its never too late to start. I was always in shape until I had my son..then fell in love. It made me comfortable to the point that i would eat because i was happy...Total emotional eater. So yeah, back to you. This might be nerve wrecking now...once your on the other side on your way to a skinnier you...your not gonna want to ever go back. To live...is too feel happy with who you are and to allow yourself to be human...your nervousness is totally understandable ...you have the right to be. I know i can't wait to hopefulllyyyy get approved...if i do...it'll be one of the happiest days of my life...well umm no..after.the surgery I'll be completely happy.

I can only imagine how your weight gain has impacted you since you were in shape before. My insurance does offer the surgery, but my employer has a ridiculous stipulation that must occur before getting it... Being with the company for 5 years. So I am going to MX to have my surgery done for a fraction of the cost. Never thought I would be on that boat, but surprisingly some of the surgeons performs these procedure more than US doctors.

Lol... I think that's the response i get when I tell someone I am going to MX... Lol I know I know... Well at least he's not performing my procedure in his nasty garage, I payed for the couch hey hey. Only kidding.

Yes, I have researched those things. Statistical information is great, but customer testimonies are way better. I am using a Doctor that many people on this forum uses, the hospital is small but surpasses that of a US hospital ( so ppl say), he does countless procedures and is certified to do so ( no black market), also the hotel I will be staying in when I get released from the hospital is a Marriott...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
