Hi all, after 5 months of appointments, I have been approved for gastric sleeve surgery!

My date is April 15, 2014!

Honestly? I'm a mess. I didn't expect to be. I didn't think I would have the date for at least another two weeks. I know it's good to get it over with. But I feel like I'm falling apart. Intellectually I know I'm doing the right thing. Emotionally, I'm overwhelmed and feeling broken.

Can anyone relate?

Hi, when I was approved I was SO excited! Then I thought, oh crap what am I doing? Am I sure I want to do this? Am I going to be able to "follow the rules"?

I can relate to what your saying. When the day came I was so nervous, but it went fine. Everyday is different, but I definitely don't regret it.

I must say I am in the same boat as you. Since I was given my date I have started paying more attention to the things that will no longer be an issue once I lose the weight. I will be able to walk a flight of stairs with out panting for air.. I will be able to tie my shoes with out setting my foot at a higher level to reach it.. There is too much bad that will be better once this is done. I am sick of being this way and am going to do what ever it takes to get healthy.. My kids need me.. My wife needs me. I want to know what it feels like to go to a store and buy normal cloths. The list goes on and on. These are the things I think of if the question comes to mind about am I really going to do this. Yes. Yes I am doing it..

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
