SarahNKY 4 Posted February 25, 2017 Hello, I'm new here and just looking to make some friends who are on a similar timeline. My surgery is scheduled for 3/28/17. I'm starting to get nervous About me: I live in the greater Cincinnati area on a 200 acre farm with my husband and our 5 dogs, 7 cats, 2 horses, and many cows and chickens. I am 34 years old and suffer from generalized anxiety and depression, and some social anxiety. I am an introverted person, so making friends online is easier. I love riding my horses, being outside, music, watching sports, and reading. After surgery I hope to get back into running, weight lifting, and hiking. I am an open-minded and sensitive person.My biggest fear currently is that I will have the surgery and still manage to fail by regaining weight or not losing. I've struggled with my weight on and off since my teens. Looking forward to sharing the journey! 4 queendeborahbee, Irish Girl in NW, amyjane79 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kbaton 1 Posted March 15, 2017 My pre op is tomorrow. And surgery is set for 4/6. Originally it was 3/30 but the dr is away that week. I'm nervous/ excited / scared all at the same time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleeve1stFitNext 924 Posted March 15, 2017 My surgery is 3/26 and I am already on my pre-op diet. It will get easier as time goes and I am sure that you will succeed. Positive thoughts brings postive results. Know and believe you can and you will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaybeNewMe 1 Posted March 16, 2017 Hi. My surgery is planned on 29th of March, and I have to be admitted on 27th. I am anxious about it. I have not disclosed it to anyone despite my husband as it would open further discussions in family and work. I am hoping everything would go smooth. 1 pastbandedsleever reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pastbandedsleever 19 Posted March 17, 2017 I have surgery 3/30. I have only told my hubby & my bestie who is also a medical doctor. I don't want to hear anything anyone else has to say. Especially when I had a previous WLS (LapBand that was defective & had to be removed)... I have enough going on not to have to deal with the negativity of others. I am hoping to find support here though. 1 char3672 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCT 4 Posted March 18, 2017 I had mine 3/10. I kept mine on the down low for the same reason. I'm still on liquids and getting bummed out. This has been the hardest thing I've ever done. 2 Desiree Newlove and Rowvin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
