I'm freaking out!

I just read your post and I noticed you were scheduled for surgery in June. I'm wondering how you're doing and if you have any regrets with your decision!!!!

I don't have any regrets now. If you had asked me that 3 weeks ago I would have said yes. My recovery was harder than most because of all the scar tissue that I had from the band. I had a PICC line for 3 weeks and was NPO. I've been in a dreaded stall for the past 2 weeks so that too is a little disappointing.

Im looking at your stats and your weight doesnt seem soooo bad. i mean you said that you need this surgery? are you faced with medical problems now because of your weight? or r u just having band issues? im guessing your band is still in?

I'm not sure if you are talking to me but I'm assuming you are since I'm the OP. I would say at 5'4 and 242 that my weight was pretty bad. That is a BMI of 41.5 which qualifies me for surgery without the added comorb of hypertension that I have. I did have complications from the lapband as well.

Thanks for your honestly regarding your anxiety. I was approved last Thursday, and was told to just let them know the date I want. I was calm until I talked to my husband. He is making me nervous. But I can't let him know I am nervous. I failed my band, and I want to do awesome with my sleeve. I have been trying to have this surgery for 3 years, and now I am finally approved. Crazy.
