I'm meeting the surgeons on the 16th and that's when they'll decide if I have the op or not but I'm really worried. Since the last time I saw my dr, I have gained soo much weight and I'm just really worried that they'll say no because of this.. So scared.

When do you meet with the surgeon again, the hospital I'm having surgery at you can't gain over ten pounds so I'm always watching what I eat trying my best not to gain, if your next appointment is a few weeks away that gives you enough time to come down some, your almost there think positive......duh I just saw you go on the 16th that's more than enough time to loose a few before you see them sweetie don't be worried

Hello friend! I'm sorry you are struggling! I found the months of pre-OP preparation extremely uncomfortable emotionally, which I'm guessing must be the same for you? My partner at work, who is a health care provider like me, actually gained 10 pounds the 2 months prior to her surgery. She's been wildly successful since her sleeve, tho.

You may be in for a question or two about the weight gain, but you can just be honest and tell them what has been stressing you out. Once you get that surgery date, the stress of waiting for approval will be behind you and you can focus on the future with great encouragement! And truly, once you have the sleeve on your side, you can spend more time focusing on healthy, non-food ways to soothe yourself when times get tough. You'll even have the energy to work out, which is awesome for mind as well as body strength! Blessings to you!
