I am a newbie, thanks for letting me stalk!. Found out Monday, that my insurance improved my sleeve surgery and the date is 10/14. The pre-op is very difficult! I feel I am giving up my social life, and didn't realize how much my life centeres around going out with others with karaoke, eating dinner, parties, etc. How hard has it been for a lifestyle change for others?. Did not go with my karaoke group tonight, because did not want to to tempt my mouth, and I was fresh our of duct tape. Btw, I'm 56, married, my child is grown and settled in life. My weight is the one thing I have not conquered. Thanks for feedback in advance.

Hi beach lizard. I am 61 married, with son 35 who has 3 children. Wt is the one thing I have not conquered. I am having 2nd thoughts and I don't have a date yet. I am anxious about the endoscope and colonoscopy procedure as well as the possible complications. Yet bottom line, I won't know if I don't try.
