I wish it would pass. I have an appt with the cardiologist and then pre-admission testing and my last appt with my dr. Maybe he can help ease my worries. I KNOW if I lose weight I would feel better and I KNOW I can't do it by myself. I HAVE to do this. I'm a worrier by nature. Thank you for letting me know it's not just me Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I think the only reason I was asking is because I am really getting nervous for my surgery. I'm afraid of complications. I would NEVER take anything without telling my dr, I just wish I KNEW that I will be ok, no problems, complications etc. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

My sister has just started the weight loss injection Saxenda. It started me thinking....would that bw better for me than the sleeve? I am scheduled for surgery on June 14. I have been getting super nervous, and thats probably why I am even thinking about this. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

My sister actually just had her first dose today. I have also lost weight on my own, over 100 lbs last time, but most of it came back. I guess I'm mostly thinking about it because of my nerves. In my heart, I really do think the sleeve is best for me. I don't mind taking vitamins, blood tests etc. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I've actually had to buy those elastic shoelaces that you put on oncexand don't have to tie again! I CANNOT tie my right shoe in the am because my back is so stiff, I can't reach. I've actually had to go into work and ask co-workers to tie it for me....how embarrassing! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi. I am being sleeved in June, and I would like to lose some weight before then. I don't have a pre-op diet (except protein and veggies the week before) I was wondering, if,I start doing a shake (shakeology) for breakfast and lunch, and then a sensible dinner, would I be ok? (Not dizzy or lightheaded) I am 275lbs, 45 yrs old and I have a physically demanding job. Any suggestions??? Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you! I am DEFINITELY going to need practice chewing/eating slower. I'm a very fast eater. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Are you nervous? I'm starting to get more nervous every day. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I have so many things I'm looking forward to. New clothes, less pain, playing with my nieces more, and, someday, I would LOVE to play softball again! I also want to gain confidance, and be able to physically move around better. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi. I am being sleeved in June (scared to death) I have lots of aches and pains (knees, feet, back, shoulders) I was wondering if anyone else had these problems, and did the pain go away as you lost weight? The pain is one of my reasons for having the surgery. Ty

Oh, They told me it a test for an auto-immune disease would have shown if I had it.

Thank you for your message. I have been so nervous about my surgery. I KNOW it will be the best thing I can do for myself, but I have a nervous personality. Good luck with your knees!

I asked my dr, he said the blood work came back neg. He says arthritis. I hope it gets better as I lose weight.

You look great! I'm starting at about where you did. Did you have the sleeve or bypass? I am having the sleeve on June 14. Im soooo nervous!

June 14.

June 14...and NERVOUS!!!

I guess I'm lucky in that aspect, I don't have a weight loss requirement. But I know what you mean about the foot pain, I have it in BOTH feet! I am also hoping it goes away as I lose weight. I lost over 100lbs on my own a few yrs ago (I wasn't even finished losing before I gained it back) and nothing hurt. Hopefully I feel as good this time! Well, I am on my way into my nut appt. Good luck!

I know how you feel, I have been overweight forever, obese for about 20 yrs. I just want to feel GOOD!!! Good luck!!!

Im so sorry. It makes my pain seem like nothing. Good luck i hope u find relief

I hope so too. My knees are VERY weak after sitting too long.

I have really bad back stiffness and pain in my back. It started out only being in the mornings, now, it lasts most of the day. I can no longer tie my right shoe by myself because I can't bend to that size. I can't shave my legs in the mornings, and nowx my feet have gotten very painful. I believe I need to lose 120lbs (I weigh 275) but I am scared that the first few days will be harder on me.sincevthe more I lay or sit around, the worse the pain is. I REALLY hope losing weight takes the pain away!
