Hey guys. I have been thru this process before. My insurance has approved and last minute I backed out from the fear of anxiety, panic attacks, extra skin, looking sick and so on. I don't have much support. I am 35 with three kids that are very dependent on me as we don't have much family. I know that I hate my stomach. It's so affected me so much I have stopped having sex. I hate my body is gross. And I am ashamed of my hubby looking at me. I want to be content. But fear has paralyzed me. I saw my surgeon last week and was looking forward to getting the lap band but I was told that she would recommend the gastric sleeve as my BMI is 44. She said that the risk of the band are slimmer during the operation but they are higher as time goes on due to the foreign object in my body... So the sleeve it will be. I need motivation from those who have had the surgery. Thanks guys. ????????????

Thank you. I currently see a therapist for my anxiety and marriage issues. But she has no clue that I am getting this done. I'm hoping to talk to her this week about it. There are support groups ️available will start joining soon. Thanks girl. ????

Thank you mcclorie

That's a good question how do someone knows that they are mentally ready for anything. I trust God. I know that with his strengths I can do anything. I m always questioning my decision and that's what sucks. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much. That means a lot!!!

Thank so much. That means a lot. I think about this often and if I would have done this the last 2 times I would have been out about 2 years post op. I am soul searching. I have stopped my life because of this weight and I want to live. Live happy, healthy and with no regret. I am happy to know that there are individuals who are in the other side and are fine and okay. I appreciate your help!! ????????????????????
