new to site....surgery tomorrow morning!
hello everyone, I have been looking over this site for the past week. I am glad I found it. I first thought about WLS 2 years ago, I decided not to do it, thinking I could loose the weight on my own. HHHAAA!! 2 1/2 weeks ago I got back in touch with my surgeon, 2 days later I had my psyc. eval. then the upper GI, then the ultra sound, all with in a week and a half. My insurance approved 100% coverage. In 2 Days!!!YAYAYAYAYAYA!!!!
I go in tomorrow morning! I am so excited but a bit scared at the same time. I have this fear of dying. I have kept this surgery a secret. The only one that knows is my hubby and he also has a fear of dying prematurely. I don't want my family to know because I am embarrassed that I have had to resort to this. I have hypothyroidism, which makes it even harder to loose weight. My family would also worry alot and I don't want them too. I have to have my gallbladder out at the same time, so no one will know any different. I can't wait to start my new life! Just to beable to buy new clothes, that are cute! I am starting out @ 257 and my goal is 150. I haven't been that weight since high school. I guess what I am looking for are just some words of encouragement, I am getting more nervious as time goes by. Thanks Nativegirl
Congrats to you Dana! One of my fears was dying, but I came to realize that the good Lord isnt going to take me from this Earth until he says its time for me to go. I am at peace with knowing that. There is a risk of death with any surgery that you have. Have faith in your surgeon and yourself. This is one of the greatest moments of your life. It will be a whole new life for us all. My surgery date is Monday. My prayers are with you during surgery. I hope you have a speedy recovery as well. Keep in touch on the board.
