Hi Theresa,
Apparently 10/24 is a popular day, because my surgery is scheduled for then, too! I feel a bit like I'm on a really fast moving train, heading towards that date, because time is FLYING by!
I am TOTALLY relating to how you feel...I've been on the weighloss merry-go-round for YEARS, and have felt like a failure every time I haven't been successful.
I've got a lot of fears, too - I've seen firsthand the pros and cons of WLS. My sister had a gastric bypass 3 years ago - she's lost 150 lbs, and is currently a size 2. She had some complications at the beginning, but they worked out pretty quickly. But, even though she has been so successful and is living a healthy active life, I have incredible fears that I will be the exception - that I won't lose the weight, that I will have complications, that I'll somehow LOSE MYSELF, that I will be a failure. What I'm discovering through reading LOTS of blogs, is that almost EVERYONE feels that way - we're NOT alone in this. I'm finding that the support of others who have been through this is the lifeline that I'm going to need over the next several months.
On a positive note, I have had the smoothest sailing in getting this scheduled. I went to the Wish Center at the beginning of August for my consultation. (I had been considering it for quite some time, but never even verbalized it to my family until mid-July when i made the appt) I was approved in 7 weeks (with no denials or appeal, even though I hadn't done the 12-month supervised diet or had 5 years of records!) had my pre-op on Monday, and am set for surgery in 18 days. Like I said, REALLY fast moving train....but, it's going to be an awesome journey, and I look forward to taking it with you!
