[MindyLynn5 21]

I am scheduled for surgery near the end of nov. I am very excited. But kinda wish it was here sooner. Anyone else looking for surgery in November?

ME ME ME!!! November 17th in Tiajuana. Excited to pieces. I know everyone is different, but I am going to think positively. I want to throw away all this insulin, needles, and pills!

I'm going to my 6th Dietician appt. next week, Insurance only requires 6, but actually 7 months prep. After speaking to my nurse, she is trying to get me in for November 10th, otherwise it won't be until November 17th (week of Thanksgiving). I too..am nervous and excited...dreaming at night of being able to trim/paint my own toe nails, and fit into nice cloths, at 50..I need all the help I can get.

haleytrim where are you going in Mexico? pgerik have you found alot of reviews or testimonials for Ready4Achange? I assume you have. maybe you can private message me if you know how to do that. if you don't mind me picking your brain a little. thanks.

Hi eclectick..... I'm 50 also. Definitely do you think about all the things I'll be able to do once I lose this weight. I have 100 pounds to lose to get to goal but will be happy with 80 to 90 if that's what I get 2. I can't wait to go on amusement rides Water park horseback riding long walks swimming and being comfortable in a bathing suit being able to stand up from the floor without help and many more things. My kids are excited for me to be able to do all these things also. Even though I'm 50 I have 12 year old twins you still keep me very busy . Keep dreaming and everything will be here before you know it

12 Year old twins..wow..you have your hands full. I am a twin myself..my other half is a male.

I dream alot about how nice it will be to do many things, but being healthy is number 1 for me. I am not sure if these feelings are normal but I dream and get excited about it..but then I get depressed and beat myself up and wonder what happens if the surgery doesn't work for me......I am putting the cart before the horse (per say). Sometimes I want to cry because I am so excited but in the same time, I am crying because I am so mad at myself for getting to this place of obesity. Believe it or not, I passed my Psych Eval.....I have so many un-answered feelings but....I won't get the answers I need unless I jump...right?

I supposed the closer it gets, the more freaked out I am getting!!

My dearest Eclectick -

Have you looked in a mirror today - do you see that face looking back at you? That beautiful woman is you.

You need to remember that you are not alone on your journey and you will be successful.

Don't be mad at yourself - it is not going to change anything. I decided a while ago that I wanted this surgery for me - I also want to be healthy. Don't dwell on the negative.

I am not going to spend anymore time being mad at me for being overweight. Have I made choices that weren't the smartest - well yeah, but some of those choices have made me who I am today. Besides the point, I like my little personality flaws - they make me, well, Me.

I am going to put my soapbox away now. Be safe and stay strong you beautiful wonderful woman!

Ditto on the above post. eclectick don't beat yourself up. All of your emotions are normal. Of course there's going to be highs and lows during this journey. It's a major life change. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't put so much thought into it. Read as much as you can learn as much as you can and this forum is a great place for support.
