Hi everyone. I had my surgery in Feb and I'm loving the way I look. I'm very confident.. Maybe too confident. I've been with my gf for 2 years, but my eyes have started wandering. I don't want to cheat and I really love her, but it's hard to turn away the attention I'm getting. I've never had it before. There is a girl specifically I can't turn away from. She's the cutest thing, and way out of my league. I've never had such an opportunity. Has anyone else had this issue or similar? Of course, my gf is now super jealous because she sees the attention I get when we go out. I added a picture just to show the difference it's made this far.

Forgive me if this is in the wrong section. I am just wondering if anybody has felt this way. I am getting my surgery February 12th so today was my last doctor's visit before the surgery. Well, when I left the office I couldn't help but to break down and start crying. It was just a cocktail of emotions. I was so grateful. I felt lucky. I felt sad for other people who don't have the opportunity that I have been given. I couldn't believe that my vitals were okay. I have fatty liver and basically it would've just got worse if I hadn't opted for this surgery. This surgery is saving my life. I couldn't stop crying when I got in the car. Anybody else gone through this?

Thanks so much. Good to know I'm not alone in this one.

Feb 12!!! Just got the date today.

Do you have a date yet?

I I don't even know how to start this. I've always been afraid to try new things for fear of failure, so I just stay stagnant wherever I am at. I think this is in part the reason why I have steadily gained weight. After I dropped out of college 5 years ago , I just stopped caring. I once fasted on just water for a week straight because I wanted to re-set my body. Now I can't even stick to a diet and exercise program, but I know the discipline is somewhere in me. I have Blue Shield of CA and I've gone through my appointments. I am just waiting so I can complete a year at work and qualify for FMLA. Where my negativity comes into play is now I'm getting worried because I keep playing all these scenarios in my head. What if the insurance doesn't approve me? What if they find something wrong with me once they're doing the procedure and I wake up still with no WLS? I think I need a therapist but I'm not sure. Then I think about how good I'll feel and look once I get it done. I'm 5'1 and weight 270, I need to do this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thanks to those who read this.

Thank you to everyone who answered. I needed to take a break from this whole surgery because it was driving me a bit insane. I'm back and cool as a cucumber and feeling ready for this change.
