Information Overload !

I have researched and read so much about Gastric Bypass Surgery, I think my head is gonna explode. I literally don't think my brain can hold anymore knowledge about anything related to Gastric Bypass. I have been waiting on a approval, and in the meantime I've been reading others journeys and any other information about the surgery. I have been doing this for months already, but when I got to the stage where I am waiting on approval, I need to fill my time so I research, but I am officially all researched out. At this rate by the time I do meet with the surgeon as he is explaining everything, I will be sitting there thinking yep yep, cause I will already know everything he is telling me. So I think for now I will "TRY" to stay off the Gastric Bypass sites and groups I've joined on facebook. Seeing all this surgery talk just keeps me anxious and I am already impatient, so that don't help, especially when I am constantly reading people saying tomorrows the big day or my surgery is in 2 days, although I am happy for them, but it gets me all worked up on my own situation and this is becoming to stressful, while I am waiting on a approval, so with that being said I am staying off the social media sites that deal with anything Bariatric. Good Luck to all in your individual situations, as for up coming surgeries I pray you all have a safe and successful surgery, and a speedy recovery :)

That's a very good idea! I too am a hard core researcher but it only gets me all worked up. I'm a major hypochondriac so my most recent vow is to stay off of web md. It makes me crazy.
