Completely Addicted!

[MaddieJ 82]

Wow since October' date=' It's only been a few weeks for me and I feel like it's taking forever. Once you make up your mind you just want to get it done! I keep hearing about peer to peer reviews. Is this when your doctor meets with other doctors or what? When I did my sleep study last week I felt like I didn't sleep a wink and kept waking up but they said they got enough data. They didn't put a cPAP on me in the middle of the night so I don't know if this means I don't have sleep apnea or what. Did they put one on you during the night? Only a couple more weeks! How exciting, Who knows we could be getting the sleeve right around the same time. I will keep you updated. Thanks for sharing![/quote']

They didn't put one on me but mine was a two night thing. The second night they tried but I kept pulling it off. Since they called me after my insurance changed it has taken 3 months and then I had to schedule it almost 2 months out from my approval because of my job. So the second time around it seems like time has gone by real fast! I still have to find shakes I like, get my pre-op labs done....aaahhh! Time is just going too fast but that is a very GOOD thing! I work nights so by the time I come home and sleep one day of work takes up two days... it makes time fly by! A HUGE good luck to you and I'll be praying you get scheduled ASAP! I've been looking for a buddy with a date around mine so let me know if you get scheduled anytime around July 16th!

You are definitely not the only one... I kind of obsess about stuff like this, and this site helps me do so without making my wife want to kill me.

Am I the only person completely addicted to this site?!?!? I check it constantly and it seems to be getting worse- the closer I am to surgery the more I'm addicted!!!!

Heck no. I am the same way. It help me a lot because it have soooooo much info

Staying around keeps you accountable. No lie...almost every large regain post I've seen (and really, I've only seen a handful in something close to four years) is someone who was not active here at all. They were out there living life and struggling but not sharing it or forcing themselves to be accountable by talking about it here.

I'm guilty of it myself, because when I was having trouble after the birth of my daughter I went off to my hidey hermit hole and avoided VST for a while. I spent a few days doing the mindless snacking thing and gained one pound while still having eight to lose from the baby...no big deal, really, but it goes to show how easy even those of us that have worked very hard at breaking habits and changing our lives can slide in times of stress or anxiety.

Being addicted to VST is far less painful than being addicted to french fries. I'll take this addiction any day.

I wasn't too worried about my surgery but being on here helped quell some of the anxiety I had from the wait and just wanting to get the VSG done. I learned a lot and felt more prepared going in.
