thanks sweetie the most important thing is I think I will feel better and I won't be tired and sore all the time congrats on all your weight loss and I love your skull and tinkerbell ticker it is so cute

So all I have heard since the time I have decided to have this surgery is so mnay comments that are negative. I have heard "You look just fine" or "You don't look that big" Or why can't you try to loose the weight with diet and exercise. or "I knew someone's cousin's friend that died from weight loss surgery." I have even heard why don't you try hypnosis from my own parents! My husband is the only one who supports me on my decision because he lives with me and know what battles I fight everyday. I have gout, I hurt all the time. My back and knees hurt. I can't even find a bra that fits me because the band around my back is so huge. Why wouldn't these people support me if they knew it would make my life so much better? I can't even run without my belly slapping against my knees. I just don't understand. I want to live not to just be alive! Thanks for letting me vent. It is obvious that people's comments have taken a toll on me. Their negativity is definitly pulling me down and making me question my own decision for weight loss surgery. I have four shildren of my own and three step kids. One previous husband who has passed away mabye that is why some people are fearful of me dying and they don't want me to go through with the surgery, but if I don't I won't be here for the long run. My mom is just like me she has diabetes and is in pain with artritis and diabetes. I know I will go through with it, but I battle with the question of making the right decision because of these people putting these thoughts in my head. Has anyone else experinced this? How did you deal with people's comments and what did you say to them? Most of all thanks for letting me vent. I love the support I get on this site you guys are amazing thank you for your time :0) Also my pre opt apt is in the morning and I will find out what kind of pre opt diet I am going to be on. The docs office hasn't really told me yet. I guess I will find out tommorow. I am excited, but scared at the same time. Again thank you all in advance.

Hey everyone. Well it finally happened, I woke up today and literally could not deal with all the anxiety of the surgery. It hit me that it was exactly one week away from my surgery. I have been having nightmares and overall general anxiety about the surgery. The last c-section I had I almost died due to blood loss. I guess I have alot of reasons to be scared my previous husband has passed away and If I die two of my children will not have any living parents left. I am thinking to myself that mabye by having the surgery I am being selfish and not thinking about my children. I had to muster up enough energy to go to school tearyed and finally had to leave class because I couldn't stop crying. I know I am probaly overeacting, but I just can't seem to help it! One of my medicines says to tell your doctor before having surgery and you might need to stop taking it several days before surgery. I brought this to the attention to my doctor and he says to still keep taking my anitdepressant called amitryptyline. Again I know I am freaking out, but just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I am just one hot mess. Wondring if I should write letters to all my children just in case....I have four children of my own and three step children. If I die my husband will not be able to take care of them all! Sorry if you all think I am crazy I just might be lol Did I mention also that no one but my husband wants me to have this surgery! Thanks for listening or just letting me rave about my paranoiad thoughts...Thanks, nina

You hit the nail right on the head. I guess since it is elective surgery you feel alot of guilt. I need to look at this like its something that is going to save my life. I am afraid if I talk to the psych she will think I am crazy lol.

thanks sweetie it means alot

sorry sweetie wishing you another speedy recovery

thank you sweetie
