I'm scared as well but somebody on here told me that if you weren't scared you wouldn't be normal and a little bit of fear is healthy so we will hold hands and walk through this journey together ...

Hi, thought it might be a good ideas to tell you a little about my journey as I have enjoyed reading about others.

I'm 51 years old, a wife of 30 years and mother of two boys 25 and 18!

I have had weight issues from about the age of 9. My relationship with food has been one of love and hate! I have tried many diets, some have been successful, I have lost more than 90lbs on occasions, only for the weight to go right back on. This has made me feel like a failure, it has also made me feel out of control.

I have tried nearly everything! Including fad diets, starvation diets, pills and potion, ect.

I have had therapy which did help with the way I used food emotionally. It was my therapist that first mentioned WLS to me. At that time I was still of a mind that I could do this weight thing on my own.

I now realise that I have no potion control at all. I am indeed like a alcoholic when faced with certain foods. So three years after WLS, was first mentioned to me, and me now using food in a more appropriate way, I am as heavy as ever.

I know this surgery is a tool, but it is one I NEED! I need the restriction it will give me, the hunger feelings being hushed.

It has been liberating finding this forum! To know that I am not alone! To find others that understand!

I am looking forward to making this journey, to supporting and being supported.

How did everything go today?

Great! My weight in was actually 1 pound less than my first consultation ( im at 259 BMI is 48.4) and according to my Nut say if i keep it under 50 (bmi) im only required to do a 2 week pre-op diet. Everything will be submit to my insurance for approval tomorrow, so im crossing my fingers i get the call with good news soon!!! Im also waiting for the sleep study results... But that will not delay surgery as i can sign a waiver

Awesome!! My dr office won't schedule my surgery until sleep study is complete. Insurance is approved though. Are you having surgery in Detroit?

My middle child is at camp outside of Detroit right now. Ortonville...going there next Friday to pick her up.

What kind of pre-op diet will you be facing?
