Impatiently waiting...June sleevers?

[Janex43 18]

I am scheduled for June 12th! I know I need this but I am so scared!! I keep having doubts. I know I need it and have to do it. One minute I'll be excited for the future then the next minute I think I'm crazy for doing this! Is this normal? Do you other June sleevers feel this way?

By the way, this is my first post I am a 38 year old mother of three, and have been overweight since I was 9! My parents have weight related health issues and I don't want that for my future. That's why I need this and am choosing this![/quote

I am June 12 th also! I am so happy to find a buddy! I am having surgery with Dr. Rodriguez in Juarez. Where r u having surgery?

I'm having mine done at the hospital I work at in Rowlett tx. I'm nervous too and didn't get a warm response from my mother. My bmi is 38 but I have sleep apnea and I am prediabetic.

Hey, don't worry about the response from your mother, I am sure see will come around when she sees how happy and healthy you are becoming. I feel like it would be common for family to not understand, some of my family members didn't exactly get why I want WLS. My brother said "your not even obese!". My bmi is 44 so yea, I am obese! Anyway, if you want this, and thought about all the risks and benefits, then go for it!!!!❗️????

I've just told her I changed my mind. She is a little bit better. Although I haven't. I am a nurse and I have been thinking about doing something about my weight for a long time. I have just finally gotten the courage to ask.

You will do great. Plus, I saw a YouTube video from a surgeon talking about the wonderful results that "lower" BMI (35-38) patients have with surgery. I think you will be really happy. Also, being a nurse is hard work, I am sure losing the weight will make running around a hospital and being on your feet all day much easier. Trust me I understand how some family don't really get the whole WLS surgery concept. I am only 28 so I hear a lot of "just exercise". We all know if that worked I wouldn't be doing this. Bottom line is you have to do what's right for you. Yea it's always better to have the support of your family, but sometimes that won't happen; and that's true for any decision's we make in life. Just go for it, you will do great!!!!!!

It seems to me that you have thought a lot about this and you should go for it. I know the common theme here is that people wished they didn't wait so long. Don't wait another year if this is what you want.

My surgery is June-22.

I'm nervous but excited at the prospect of some day weighing less than I did when I graduated high school 30 years ago.

I've still got some weight to lose before surgery. Currently on a high Protein, low carb diet and putting a lot of miles on my treadmill.

Going through my insurance required six month supervised diet. Very anxious for time to pass to get my surgery. I finish in May, so am optimistically looking at June for surgery. Anyone else around my stage? Isn't the wait killing you????

i am scheduled for June 10th. Going to Mexico.

If all goes as planned, I should be having my surgery June 30th with Dr Tersigni and Bay Bariatrics! I'm so nervous, but excited too!

Good Morning Sleevers,

I had my presurgical seminar last night and I am mixed ball of emotions! But more than anything I am excited. I am not very excited about having a catheter. I guess my surgeon caths everyone. Oh well, I will survive.

I feel like because I have done so much research, I didn't learn anything earth shattering, but I got a lot of my quetions answered. What shocked me was some of the other people in my seminar and the little research they had done! Wow! Anyways, I go in for the rest of my pre-op tests in two weeks and hopefully everything will be good to go for June 15th! Hope everyone else is progressing well!

@@haleylhs I have one more appt to go! I have all my other boxes checked, so hoping for a quick turnaround for approval and an early surgery date.

Try not to stress it won't help anything. I know it's much easier said than done...so I'm talking to myself too! Are you seeing a nutritionist? What are they telling you?
