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..
