Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

I'm kind of becoming obsessed



Recommended Posts

Any free time that I have now is spent looking up info on surgeons, hospitals, prices, or posts written by patients. Last night I was up until 2am.

When I finally went to sleep I dreamt that I was making an appointment for my surgery in Mexico over the phone... IN SPANISH. LOL!! Mind you I do not speak Spanish. I took it in high school. I can probably speak like a 1 year old in Spanish. Omg I woke up laughing at myself. I either need to just schedule an appointment or take a break from researching. ;-)

I've been lurking for some time, this is my first post. Happy Hump Day!!

Welcome Karla!

lol...it is hilarious that you were talking in Spanish.

I, too, get so caught in research that it literally takes over my brain. And I've been doing this for over a year!

It's going to be a fun ride! ????

When first starting out, it's kind of overwhelming it's so hard to know where to begin. I did not have a clue. I spent many a late nights trying to find out things. I had assumed I would be self pay for so long. It's amazing how many choices there are out there now.

my Español is at best kindergarten level.

Now that I think about it Helena my Spanish is probably at a kindergarten level too.

I was the exact same way ! Now that I'm post op thankfully it's easier to keep under control. Too busy trying to get in liquids and Protein and balance recovery with getting back to real life.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
