Were/are any of you OBSESSED preop?

[mistysj 1,939]

Absolutely. I read 6-7 books about it, read all kinds of scientific studies, read everything I could find here and in ObesityHelp. Thankfully I only had two months to obsess. Now that I have had the surgery it is almost an anticlimax! I know I will stalk at 3 weeks for instance. I don't expect any surprises for at least the first couple months. I feel really prepared and I think it has helped my recovery to be so smooth.

My fellow OCDers. --- a friend of mine told me to replace the word "obsessed" with "dedicated" ... I like that!

Omg I thought I was alone lol but I am completely obsessed . I am on the forum all day on my iPad even want to D&L on my phone . All I do is talk to my family about the surgery. I dream of my surgery and also having group meetings lol so weird never had a meeting on it . I been taking my Vitamins so any before surgery exam comes out good and I'm not anemic since I suffer from that. I just finally found ppl who go and are going thru the same thing . YouTube videos yes I'm on that lol I watch all day

Add me to the list of the obsessed. The hardest thing is just waiting on everyone else's timing... Not my strong suit.

I had my surgeon appt and he put me totally at ease with the safety/complications so once my mind was able to move from that to all the benefits and success, I have now become obsessed. I usually don't have time to read these forums until late at night, and then I get so excited I have a hard time gong to sleep!!!!

Hardest thing right now is, I have sworn off clothes shopping since this surgery became a reality in my mind, and I miss shopping!!! I go to TJMaxx and my usual haunts, and have to skip all the clothing, waiting til I'm a smaller size, and it's driving me crazy to not be buying anything lol!

I am pretty much obsessed. It is all I have to get m through this since I have been on a wait list for 1.5 years and have another 1.5 years to get my initial consultation. Time waiting sucks....

[lorry66 15]

I have to wait so long because the surgeons in my area have a very long wait-list and I cannot afford to travel

What state is this ?

[Almostthere34 128]

I think we are all obsessed pre surgery. I know it consumed me. I started a vlog on YouTube and everything. It will be a year June 15th. Good luck to you all. It was the best experience for me. My self esteem is through the roof. I feel great and totally recommend the surgery.

I was so obsessed! That was all I could think and talk about most of the time. LOL my surgery was only 1 month and 6 days after my 1st office visit with the surgeon, so I really only obsessed for a month and 6 days

[Jolly_Jumper 1]

I saw the dr. On Friday and I'm booked in Monday (tomorrow) for sleeve opp, so really didn't have time to obsess... I've been on and off Optifast for a couple of weeks and on it all weekend so hopefully liver is ok for surgery tomoz.

[topeka31 1]

Oh wow!!!!! Im glad its not just me! I stay up until the wee hours of the morning looking at photos of sleeved patients and I do some research literally everyday. I go over my paperwork all the time, Im so excited but my family is sick of hearing about it!!!! Oh well, they can be sick because I just keep yapping lol!!!
