Dixies Mom

My husband is extremely supportive! Thank God for him!!

Just got approved for VSG last week and am scheduled for next Monday--4/25. Have gained weight since process started in 12/10 and was chastised by surgeon. Will start liquids tomorrow. Has anybody else had weight gain and then gone thru surgery? I'm less than 300 lbs and am nervous now.

I understand the reason they want us to lose weight. But my husband, who met My surgeon for the first time today, was not impressed with the bedside manner of my surgeon. In the back of my mind, I'm really scared but keep thinking that LOTS of people who are even heavier than I am have this surgery done daily. I'm beating myself up and wondering if I should cancel. However, due to a change in jobs, my insurance will be changing effective May 1st and won't cover any bariatric procedures. I feel like it's now or never.

I've told only my best friend. My husband knows and is supportive. I don't want negative vibes from anybody bringing me down.
