I jave alot of anxiety. I keep habing bad dreams about wierd things happening to me on surgery day that keeps me from having surgery Such as I fall asleep in the waiting room they call my name but I'm asleep and dont hear my name so i miss surgery! Lol! I know its because I'm sooo anxious. I'm a 43 year old female wieghing in at 285. Heaviest I've ever been but have had a lifelong struggle with my wieght....

Thamk you so much "Losing It For You" Having someone to talk to helps...my small circle of friends have been less than supportive but only because I dont think they understand that its more about my health than vanity

Thanks for your support. I dont know too much about the lapband other than my surgeon doesnt do them because of too many complications. I am really excited...10 days away as of today! I've already started exercising...I've already bought my proteins and what not. I'm having my bypass done at Toledo Hospital. They have been rated a bariatric center of excellence. My surgeon is Dr. Patrick White. I have several friends that had their surgeries done successfully by him with few complications. ....My latest dream was that I was pregnant and couldnt have the surgery! Good thing I'm abstinant! Lol!

What was your pain level like day 1? Was your surgery lapriscopically? Ive already started exercising, im less than 2 weeks away from my surgery date....how is energy level post op?
