Ya tomorrow is my FIRST APPOINTMENTS face to face too!!! I see psych and general medical. I too am nervous about this and feel like I have forgotten every single question I came up with and what I have read. What if, what if, and what if and please don't tell me no go home, I really am ready for this!! All of it for sure going over and over my head for about an hour now! reading over and over again my online manuals they gave me in case I forgot something that might be a deal breaker, I think I am just burning off energy reading for sure. I added you as a friend, please post or message how it goes and I will also!! We are exact at same stage this is great

I decided first off to only tell my hubs and adult children, that went well. Then within a week we were dealing with a family funeral and my mom and dad were living at my house during grandma ICU stent and funeral planning and services. So guess when I got my first scheduling call, right beside MOM! UGGGG the LAST person I wanted to know, now she does. So far it has been a huge trial with her knowing and I guess I just need to learn to ignore her and avoid the subject totally at all costs for my own sanity. I have one coworker that had RNY 8 years ago and is my inspiration so she knows. I have told no one at work. I have told no more family. I don't think that I want to for many reasons. Mom is enough to deal with daily let alone with this as her ammo. I have been studying and watching boards, I know I need a plan on what to tell them post and how to handle that but I am sure I have time for that since tomorrow is my psych eval and first Doc meeting, I have PT and NUT to do yet and whatever pre testing they schedule, so I know I have time to come up with that plan.

OMG you are me! I have read many of your posts and thought it now this just sealed it! I almost posted this when u were posting on your mom and dad (nail on the head to mine) but this yes! Are u sure we are not somehow related lol. Just think, soon u really will be 100 pounds lighter! Just don't cross back to the other feelings. Our minds are amazing machines, and learned responses and protective in nature of the ID. With that being said, your mind may be in protection mode, knowing pain n hurt u feel w reality and does that as a coping method. Then comes pics or mirrors, hurt and ouch; hence your brain goes to protection mode! Wow I just used my masters in nursing on that one! If I could do that w myself haha .......... You got this and 28 more days u will be on your way and need to retrain that brain of yours!

Springfield Illinois clinic here"........

Well I am in beginning steps and I told my hubs and adult kids. LOW n behold I did not want my mother to know and guess who I was with when they called to schedule, Yepper her. So she knows. That is it, I do not want anyone else to know: already dealing w my 4'9" 100 pound mother "I know exact ally what u r feeling" " I have been there" (never in her life over 110) "yes u know how many fights I had w u to diet n do it right, u never did" oh my n I am not even there yet for surgery, she is too much a handful to deal w others like her! So nope no more anyone lol

Wow good luck my dear I will be thinking of u Wednesday! I visit my clinic for pre op appts Wednesday best of luck to u n add me if u want n update after

Mine is this Wednesday the 10th and they scheduled an hour then hour w doc/np. So shall see what that hour holds for me, they might find me craZy! I keep telling hubby that will be the one I flunk lol

Awesome my first appt is Dec 10 we need to stick together!

U r so correct yes that is very much me! So today after such a good eating and exercise week I gain 1.4lbs, lord I am getting frustrated! I just keep telling myself see this is why u need to do this but goodness dealing w myself is so hard! Impatient and on going irritating slaps of reality make me crazy.

I have PCP works done, insurance quotes, all online sessions done. Dec 10 is psych eval and first appt with NP at Bariatric clinic! I see list off all I have to do but lord how long will this be if they only schedule two pieces at a time! I am extreme inpatient with the unknown. I asked if I could schedule more on that day and she told me not until I pass these.UGGG So I haveresearched. MFP logged, fitbit razed. Now broke myself of straws. 1200 calories or less for months. Limiting caffeine. stocking cabinets. No alcohol. Just going crazy inpatient. Am I doing too much too soon? Anything different? Going for RNY. It does no work to tellmyselfto be patient, or anyone else lol that makes it worse, I have to make strides forward or go nutso! Rural IL and 70 miles one way from cliinic so really out there from urban support systems ect
