I saw the surgeon yesterday and got my surgery date 3/13. Yikes! I have informed myself of the procedure, read so many blog posts, watched video's on youtube. I have done all the pre-op and am starting my 2 week pre-surgery diet in 2 days. I have heard all the pros and very few cons and I believe I am prepared.

I cannot help but question....am I really spending a boat load of money(no insurance coverage for bariatric) to have 75+ percent of my stomach removed and never be able to eat again (yes, I know this is a bit dramatic)? Breaking up with food will not be easy. I guess having anxiety is normal...I am trying not to freak out.

I keep thinking the same things, but i still feel like this is the right choice even though I am freaked out ha! I have decided to also find a therapist that deals w/eating disorders and what comes w/it. I don't just want to lose the weight I want to understand why I got here and why breaking up w/food is so hard. Also I've read about the emotions from all the hormones of losing weight so quickly and it'll be nice to have help w/that! Good luck for the 13th!!????????

It was an exaggeration... know that I will be able to eat eventually. It will just be different which is not bad. My old eating habits are what put in this position. I am really nervous but also excited. Just gotta get through the next 2 weeks!

I am March 13th too! So excited but also so scared! Go for pre-op meeting tomorrow. Just keep wondering if I'm doing the right thing. Also, I am self-pay like you and I feel guilty spending this money on myself. Glad to find someone with my date!
