My Time has started - I AM SCARED



Recommended Posts

Hello I am Sarah and I started this process over two years ago. I first started with insurance then lost my job and went to the whole Mexico thing. Research so much that I thought I knew everything however that was not true LOL. I am now back to the insurance process in the USA and almost done witht he approval process. This has been very stressful "HURRAY UP AND WIAT" LOL

I have my date set for 12/31/13 what a way to bring in the new year. I am really scard that I am going to fail this process and be fat for the rest of my life. Everyone say that I will do fine but I just am worried...

Does anyone else have this same fear?

I was scared but so ready for surgery. You will do fine, keep a POSITIVE attitude, do what the surgeon tells you to do and you will be OK. Good luck and Happy New Year !

Congrats on your surgery date first of all! Second of all, RELAX! You will not fail if you follow your surgeon's plan! It sounds like you have jumped through hoops to make this happen, so you obviously WANT it. You have also done your research so you should know what to expect. I am fairly sure that EVERYONE has the same fear of failing when going into such a big surgery because we have all failed at dieting before.

It is important to remember that this is only a "tool" and you must continue to do your part!

the weight WILL come off and you will be amazed! :D I wish you the best of luck and remember that we are here if and when you need some support! GOOD LUCK!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
