Hi everyone! I'm new here, but I have been looking through singe of the threads here. I'm scheduled to have the RNY on Oct 1. Trying to get that date changed for personal reasons. I'm so nervous right now. My health insurance denied me the first time and I won my appeal. Any info you would like to share is welcome.

Glad you were able to change it. I haven't got to the nervous part yet. I am just on the impatient side still

Thanks Vicki for the encouragement,.and thank you all for the warm welcomes. I wish I could express my fears to my family but they would just tell me not to do it lol. I'm glad I found this forum.

You are right, your family is probably more scared then you are. So that makes it hard. The easy thing for them to say would be don't do it. But we are all here for you and will encourage you and you can vent and express yourself.

A wealth of information on this forum and always someone to reach out to,

I never looked at it as if they are scared. My mom said some mean things a few weeks ago, when I asked for Thanksgiving dinner in October. Maybe she said it to discourage me from having the surgery. I will have to remind myself they have some fears too.

They do have fears. They have probably heard more negative things or remember "back in the day" when so and so had this surgery and whatever negative thing happened or almost happened. So a lot of how they are is fear for you. They love you.

I hope you have a local support group that you can go to and meet others face to face that have had wls. That will help calm you too.

Hugs.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
