Hi, My surgery is scheduled on Feb 26th, I'm diving in head on. I have had 2 friends with successful WLS (one sleeve and one banded). I went to my appt on the 9th and boom, scheduled for suregery on the 26th. I am a bit nervous knowing that this can unsuccessful. I want to lose 60 pounds. I am paying cash because my BMI is not high enough for any help with insurance, but with all the money i have spent to see utter failure, i hope this is worth it.

Any words of encouragement will be well received. I am on my own and hoping what i am doing is right. Anyone out there with Hashi's that have had this surgery?

I am doing the same. Surgery 2/25. Need to lose around 60lbs and lower BMI not covered by ins and paying cash also, but I need to do this for health reasons and to feel better. I haven't told many people that I am having it done as they will not understand. I have a wonderful supportive spouse and beyond excited! Let our journey's begin!!! I also have several friends with bands and sleeves. Stick to the rights and life style changes and we will be successful! Good luck to you and would lets follow up to see how we are doing since surgeries are a day apart.

Shargurl.. I just messaged you!

I am in the exact same boat as y'all! BMI was 35, paid full price, and want to lose 65 pounds!!!! We got this!!!

I almost gave up on replies...thanks! I'm nervous about all this...but I'm ready to get this weight off. Don't want to be labeled obese anymore. Funny thing is...I went to pre op appt and I was the skinniest one there. Was thinking to myself went am I doing this...but I'm over that now =)
