EKG , labs, psych visit, 2 support group visits, upper endoscopy,sonogram of Abdomen and a nutrition consult... I mad all the appointments yesterday!! I have a 6 month wait for my ins co need to be monitored first by pop.. I'm 248 lbs at 5'1 and been heavy all my life! I'm 39 yrs old and very healthy, on no meds... Anyone wanna be buddies??

HiEveryone so nice there's lots of us together going through this! My surgeon said I don't need to maintain or lose weight but he puts me on a liquid diet for 2 weeks b4 surgery! I'm so tired of being heavy I'm 248 now .. Have my 4 th pcp visit tomorrow then 2 more left.. I scheded all other stuff like the psych eval already too lol just want a date and afrAid if too close to Christmas I don't wanna ruin the holidays if there's a complication and I'm terrified of leaks and stuff but who isnt lol I'm on and off this a lot because I am busy working full time and have an 18 month baby and other kids but I love you all and let's stick together!

Hi AniaNJ82,Nice to meet you! I also have to small children and I'm 39 but I'm tired of this struggle since I'm 10 yrs old ! My husband for years has said this to me as we'll..he doesn't get why I can't just diet and work out ( he forgets I've been doin that for 25 years to lose but always gain it back.. IM TIRED IF FAILING TOO!!!) It's hard for people to understand that over eating and food addictions is a disease and I believe a disease should be treated with a medical cure, and that medical cure IS surgery! Surgery is no easy way out, it is a tool but we have to work at it because it can be sabotaged with milkshakes, cookies and other bad diode known as " slider foods"very easily.. I don't do drugs , smoke or drink but i'm a food addict and so I believe we will always be struggling with addiction! Your young and you are doing the right thing for your kids and your future! Your husband needs to realize you wouldn't be doing this if you didn't have too! You need to go what's fight for You! My husband now is still nervous but he gets it now finally where I a coming from cause this big mana ain't turning back lol so you have support from me girlfriend I ain't no Debbie Downer!

Hi lose4life2, nice to meet you ! I cannot wait to do this, I feel hungry all the time and need stop eating so much! I'm always hungry !

Nice to meet you Lucrezia! I'm just learning of the protein shakes ... I have no clue lol we will have to look into it and ask on here... I'm sure there's lots of suggestions! I'm so tired of being heavy, it's like a dream to me this surgery and I'm nervous but so tired of diets and gaining weigh back my whole life!
