So Friday is my surgery date!! I am very nervous for so many reasons. Major one is that because I am so stressed and nervous I've actually gained weight although I haven't changed anything in eating and workout routine from when I was losing weight. Visit possible that my body is just retaining more because I'm stressed?

I have surgery Monday 4_21. I have also stopped losing weight

I think stress makes you gain weight. My job is very stressful and I gained a lot of weight over a very short period of time. My eating habits did not change so I can only think it was the stress.

I was converted from band to bypass 4/3. My surgeon was able to do it in one surgery which was the only thing I was stressing about prior to surgery. She warned me ahead do time that often there is so much scar tissue that she cannot safely do the bypass. You have to heal and they do it at a later time. My insurance has a dollar cap on bariatric procedures so if I did not get it converted in one surgery I was not going to be able to have a second due to costs. After all the worry she was able to do it but the surgery was very long. It took better than 4 hours.

Do not worry about the weight gain and try to desires as you are able. I go for a walk or listen to music or read to help with the stress.

Good luck to you!!
