50's

[TxDumplin 69]

Well...i'm 49 so i might as well follow this group ....I had my first surgeon visit this past Wednesday and have the dietitian and psychological evaluation coming up in the next two weeks. I was so exicted....now i'm getting really scared. I came across a forum last night that was nothing but horror stories from people who had gasric bypass. I should of stopped reading it.but for some reason i didn't :/....I've been watching youtube videos and reading this board today to try to ease my fears. Anybody else pre- op having second thoughts about the surgery?

I think I'll have second thoughts till they wheel me into surgery. How can we be sure we just go on what ever we are told . and then that may not be what happens to u

How are you doing now that you are a few weeks post op?

[drucella22 31]

Opposes....... That may not be what happens to us. I guess it's just fear of the unknown. I figure I. Done with weight watchers no more of that especially after the last time I was there the instructor said " oh you'll be here forever" . That. Really hurt and not like I wasn't successful I had lost 72 lbs at one point. Just did the yo yo stuff. So that really did it. I pray this works and I can do it all. I'm concerned with the liquid diet for 2 weeks prior hope I can do it. I'm nervous about it all.

I know what you mean. I was a nervous wreck for the past month. (My surgery is 2/28/13) y husband and kids are supportive, but it was t until I started my dearest friends that I knew this was right. They love me enough to encourage me to get healthy and they know I can't keep dieting/losing/gaining. I know it's not easy but it's easier than suffering fat.
