-Not having to side tie my gym shoes - being able to sneak past a person without butt bumping them -not thinking everyone is staring at me when I eat - not tugging at my shirt to make sure my belly is covered -clothes that don't have embroidery and butterflies -my kids being able to wrap a hug around me Just to name a few...

I got my insurance approval 2 weeks ago and my surgery date is 11/8! The wait is killing me. I'm nervous about the pre-op diet. Am I strong enough to do it? Im nervous for the pain and returning to work after? Am I going to be a lucky fast healer or am I going to struggle for the first two weeks? I have my preop meeting October 11. Start my two week diet October 25th. Seems like an eternity away. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I honestly don't know yet! I find out on the 11th. The. I started reading the forum on people who aren't happy with their decision to do the sleeve and wishing they didn't do it. Now I'm a whole new anxiety level. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Sitting down at a nice dinner and eating a filet? Or going to the Mexican restaurant and having a margarita? I just fear going out with my friends and missing the enjoyment of nibbling and having a few drinks. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Can any of you sure your experiences with Dr Lahmann? How has it been? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you for the responses. I am still waiting on my surgery date but I have all these what ifs and worries that I am trying to get through! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I got my call today. Cigna approved me a month early. I've been through all the tests. Besides being "fluffy" I am healthy as can be. But now I'm terrified. I'm terrified of surgery. I'm terrified something goes wrong and my children are motherless. I'm terrified 10 yrs from now we find out that there are horrific setbacks to having the surgery. But I'm also terrified to not do it. My mom past away 5 months ago from cancer but they didn't know where it started or how long she had it cause she was so overweight she wouldn't go to the doctor. I want to live past 63 so my kids don't have to go thru the sadness Ive had since April. No need to respond just finally saying what I've been thinking. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
