BeagleLover 1,020 Posted May 4, 2014 Hello... I'm new to BP. Thought I was 100% certain about having surgery (sleeve), but I keep thinking "Am I REALLY doing this?!?!" Have done all evals, except for meeting w/nutritionist. question. Am I normal? Is it normal to be overly certain one day then not the next? Truth is I fear complications but as my hubby said, I could have a heart attack, etc. due to the weight I'm carrying, HBP, diabetes, etc. Thanks for "listening." From what I've learned on this site, it's totally normal to think one day, "It's a good idea," and "What the heck am I thinking!" the next. I also have diabetes, and also sleep apnea. My doctor told me this weight would take 10 years off my life. Whoa! That's a LOT of time! I don't want to miss so much or have my kids miss me so much for so long.

Ladybug123 33 Posted May 5, 2014 I went through this too until I had my ekg a couple weeks ago. It showed that I have an enlarged heart due to my weight. That was it right there. ... no more second guessing. I have to have this surgery because my fat is slowly killing me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theoleage 8 Posted May 5, 2014 I'm in Texas. No date yet. I'm wondering when the doctor will set one. I'm in Lawton ok and my surgery date is 12 may and i have had my doubts, but then I look at my chest from heart surgery and the doubt goes away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
