Hi Cindy..

If you haven't yet.. here is this site that you can review other patient's on this site.. who has your surgeon..  Also if you look around you can check out other statistics about him..

I found this just by clicking on your surgeon's name on your profile..  best wishes.. and I hope today does not find you too emotional!!

Hi Valerie, Thank  You for  taking time to read my post. Iam finding out it is normal. I have been through other surgerys and did not feel this way with those surgerys. I sure could use your support. I find my self having these lil crying spells. just a couple of seconds but I do not let my family see this. I have done all my research and it is the best  tool I can have.How is the person  that had surgery with Dr Applebaum doing? I found that he is a great listener, I felt really comfortable with him. He took time to speak and explain surgery.  Time is just going by so fast. Well Valerie thank you so much  for getting back with me on my situation.  Keep in touch.....Cindy

Hello- There are no surgeons in NM that do weight loss surgery.  I would be happy to talk to you about other option that folks around ABQ have used.  I will PM you my phone number.  Valerie

YOU are SOOO normal.. it's scary!!  I had my surgery 3 years ago.. and remember oh so well the rollercoaster ride of emotions.. especially a couple weeks out from surgery.  I think cuz it was around the time I was getting a living will ready.. and having my mom's name added to my checking acct.. *just in case* .. and the chance of not making it was right there and real.  It is something to face.. but I just kept doing each thing.. and crying at work.. and crying while riding in the car.. and crying watching commercials... and finally about the week of surgery I was at peace. If you know this is what you want.. just hang on.. and keep going.  Soon the day will come and you will wake up and hurt like hell..  but after that.. you will start dropping the pounds and each morning you wake up.. you will feel skinnier and skinnier... I know I did.  I have no regrets.. I have had no complications..  if you like please join some of us on this board..
