My psych eval went just fine. The shock therapy portion really wasn't as bad as people said it would be.

Beating myself up :(

On the other hand, you look way hot in your avatar photo, so I say you're still coming out ahead. Nobody wins every battle. It's winning the war that matters. -
It depends on the hospital. Call them and ask.

It would be helpful to know what insurance you have. -
General Anesthesia - Thoughts of the Day
kd5wzr replied to Skywalker's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't plan on ever dying at all, but assuming I have to at some point, I decided I would rather risk going out on the operating table while trying to improve my life than inevitably wasting away from being morbidly obese. (PS: I think I've read that you have a higher probability of dying from a hip or knee replacement than you do from gastric sleeve.) -
Need some motivation, Can't seem to get back to the gym.

Do something achievement-oriented instead of appearance-oriented like training for a 5k or a half marathon. -
Man I hope so. This thing might pay for itself with the money I save on buying less small batch bourbon. lol.

What did you do with the lose skin afterwards?
kd5wzr replied to Lisa Ducharme's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I haven't had my surgery yet, but my current plan for loose skin is to stitch it together like a flying squirrel and fly around. I think the surgery would basically pay for itself by saving on gas commuting to work. Otherwise, I'm not really worried about it. If loose skin is the price I pay for a healthier future, I'm okay with that. -
lol I had a similar conversation with my surgeon. He came into the recovery area to show me the pictures he took and said, "Everything looked good. You have a little gastritis (inflammation) in a couple spots but it won't affect anything." I said, "Well that makes sense, I had Taco Casa for dinner last night." He said, "Yep, that's it!" and left. haha

I knew I shouldn't have said anything!

I've only told the four people whom I trust the most and truly value their opinion. I really don't care what anyone else thinks. Being a jerk can be very useful sometimes. -
Interesting. How would one prove that?
