pink grace 31 Posted October 11, 2012 Good luck..!!you will be fine!..I'm sorry for that embarrassing moment..mine was getting on a plane and the seat belt not fitting and not being able to pull the tray down all the way in front of me. I made a joke of it like normal..but it really does suck..my surgery is Nov.7im freaking too..but I hit my knees and prayed this morning..I have to remember that I have to have faith..you'll be OK! Keep us updated!! For those who believe, prayer and God's promises are a great comfort, He promises never to leave us and He is right there with us, every step we take, or wait, lol, as is my case, so good to have this forum, I've decided that nice people get sleeved, lol, :-) 1 geewalk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Holly5.3 423 Posted October 13, 2012 I had my sleeve 2 days ago and I was really frieking out once I was 7 days from surgery! I had to sit with my boss (Elem. School principal, I'm one if her secretaries) and exlain my Pre-op diet and why I was so edgy. She was totally understanding. I'm home and pretty uncomfortable (hiatal hernia surgery at same time) the gass is horrendous and moving and walking is the only way to get it out. Read some threads about "most embarrassing moments" or "last straw". You'll find you are not alone re: breaking lawn chairs and airplane seat belts that don't fit-funny and universal whenever I think this is too hard, I imagine how it would feel to step onto an elevator and every old boy/girlfriend you ever had was on it. What would they think when they saw you? OMG she looks great or WOW she's huge. That helps me get through, even tho it matters most how I feel about myself, the social aspect of my obesity is real and I will no longer lie to myself sayingit doesn't matter what anyone thinks -then why did I stop going to events and functions because of my weight- what to wear, etc. because I was ashamed. Niw that's the past, my new life started yesterday! Peace! 2 notime and steelergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
