kymba0827 1 Posted July 10, 2015 I'm July 17th and getting very nervous. Starting to second guess this decision. Anyone able to offer some reassurance. Pros and cons Not getting a lot of support at home. Really feeling unsure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yankee2gal2@yahoo.com 22 Posted July 10, 2015 These first few days aren't easy. You'll be real sore until the incision Inside heals. But so many have told that feel it is totally worth it. I Had my surgery on Tuesday Here it is Friday an I'm feeling better everyday . If this what you want don't let anybody discourage you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cognorati001 23 Posted July 10, 2015 I'm July 17th and getting very nervous. Starting to second guess this decision. Anyone able to offer some reassurance. Pros and cons Not getting a lot of support at home. Really feeling unsure. I'm July 17th also. I was extremely concerned as well, to the extent that I contacted the NUT and told her I was having second thoughts. But I had a break through while watching the TV show "Smile" (it's a show that gives people with atrocious teeth free, dramatic dental rehab). It hit me all the negative consequences I've suffered because of obesity: I can't really date, I'm not perceived as attractive, I can't dress the way I'd like, my physical pain is the worst it's ever been, people make extremely hurtful, humiliating comments... Obesity has so many consequences for that I have to find a method to improve my quality of life, and diets have not been able to do that for me. This is my best shot, IMHO, even I fail I'll know I've exhausted all options... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shinnystar 15 Posted July 10, 2015 Hello everyone! My surgery was recently scheduled for July 31st @ 10am with 8am admission. Johns Creek, GA. I'm very excited and not quite nervous yet. Pre-op appointment is on the 22nd. I'm new to the site and omg, there's so much to read here, I love it. Making it brief for the moment. Need to go work on my story and other good stuff to share with everyone. I'll let you be for now. My best wishes for all of you so close to your surgery date, those still days and weeks on countdown, and those who have crossed over to the new beginning of healthier life! Ciao, Shinnystar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dena1258 13 Posted July 10, 2015 @Cognorati001@kymba0827 We can all be buddies. I'm scheduled for surgery on the 17th also. Just started my pre-op diet today. Not loving it :-( Got a headache from caffeine & carb withdrawal, but I know it will be better in a day or so. At least that what everyone tells me. Hope it's true!
