Well I finally have my surgery date set for Sept 9. Been a tough 6 months (had to wait for insurance approval), but I made it., I am on vacation this week and I find myself taking that one last "fling" as far as eating and drinking goes. I'm back to all of my old ways and feeling very guilty about it but I just cant seem to stop. All my old BAD eating habits are back and it happened just like that. Is this normal? I feel that what the heck. Im having the surgery and if anything will get me back on track, that will., Anyone else had similar experience???

OMG...……..I feel exactly the same way. Been prepping for 6months(insurance waiting period)and my Surgery date is Sept 9 and I am CONVINVCED that something will go wrong and the surgeon wont do it. I guess my insecurities are really showing their ugly colors. Fingers crossed

Hello all, My journey started approximately 4 years ago. Surgery #1...…..stenosis(failed) Surgery #2...…..TRIPLE Fusion lower vertebrate Surgery #3...…..spinal sleeve to straighten out osteoporosis as a result of fusion

thanks...………….good suggestion

As a result of all these surgeries, I cant walk more than 1minute without being in excruciating pain. Forgot to tell that as a result of inactivity from back issues, I put on about 60lbs. I refuse any more back surgeries so my PCP suggested look into Bariatric Surgery. So I'm doing it more for medical reasons than anything else.

I am caught in a loop. I have chronic back pain(3spinal surgeies in pas 4 years) and still suffer. Have put on 50lbs because of lack of exercise bu cant excercise because of the pain and cant lose weight because I cant exercise. My primary recommended Gastric Sleeve and use it as a tool, and not a cure. NEuroloist cant do anything more. ......................any suggesions? Oh. almost forgot. Harvard/Pilgrim will not cover Chronic Back Pain AS A CO-MORBID CONDITION
