I'm not sure if this is a personality flaw or what, but I am absolutely obsessed with all things gastric sleeve. Do any of you feel this way?? How long have you guys been researching into this procedure? I feel like I've done a good job of not buying too much stuff yet (a suggestion I got from you lovely people) but I think, read, and probably talk about it too much- my poor poor husband. Haha.

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

Im glad to see its more out there I even dream of clothes I will shop for when im smaller I look at all the videos and im on this forum all day

Yes girl cant wait either

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'm with you I'm not buying anything until I'm smaller ..

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....

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 ?

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

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.

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!!!
