good luck! My first appt was oct 25th, everything seemed to move pretty fast, I meet with all the necessary drs and had a sleep apnea test and learned I have severe sleep apnea.. thats why I was approved if not my insurance wanted to see that I was morbidly obese for 3 years!

I agree this is going to be work! People are ignorant to think you have surgery and wake up skinny! There is so much to know and so many restrictions, and I never even considered the pain! But even with all that I am excited and can't wait until Feb 6th

How are you feeling after surgery? day 4 right?

Yes I saw that thread! I think I will eventually tell people. Do you have a date set for your surgery?

I am scheduled for Feb 6th, my boyfriend and best friend know and are VERY supportive, my sister on the other hand responded as if I was taking the easy way out...really? Major surgery is NOT the easy way out! I am on the fence because of criticisim, but at the end of the day I am doing this for me so believe I will tell people and limit my conversation with the bashers!

Hello all! I just joined after I spent the last hour reading through some of the posts and thought how great is this site!? I am scheduled to be "sleeved" on Feb 6th. My weight today is 220, and my surgeon Dr Majid is putting me on a 2 week pre op liquid diet. I am wondering what have most of you told people about your decision for surgery? It is a personal decision, did you share it? I have told a few people - and think I have a great support system. Surprisingly a close friend was not so supportive, her response was you don't need that, you just need to eat better. Really?
