Am I Crazy???

HI, After finally deciding for sure that I am going to have this surgery one way or another, is it normal to want to eat almost everything in sight? Sometimes I feel like I have to eat everything I love now and as much of it as I can because I know after surgery, I wont be able to do that anymore. Did anyone else experience this train of thought pre-op?

Naw, you are not crazy. Some of us go through this. I felt like I needed and wanted to have one last bite of everything, but now at only 2 weeks away I am finding that I have lost that drive and am just looking forward to being thinner. Good luck.

YIPPEE! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one! I thought I was crazy! I gained 6 pounds from Friday the 21st when I weighed at my doctors to Thursday the 27th when I weighed at Dr. Pearce's seminar. I did start my period that day but still I had to have gained at least 3 pounds. I am like an eating machine for some reason. I hope it passes soon. Good luck as you start your journey. I hope to be scheduled for my surgery by early to middle of July. How about you? Have you got a date yet? Janie

No I dont have a definite date.I will be a cash pay patient and am right now in the process of refinancing my house.I only have about 5 years to pay it off so I have roughly $80000 in equity.So its going to be enough to take care of it and Im sure well worth it.I think I am young enough yet that having a house payment for the next 10 years will still be ok.I do know that I will be using a Dr in AR.Ive researched the ones here in Tulsa but I am much more impressed with the dr in ARK. When I went for my consult,he was very compassionate and I believe honest.And about $12000 cheaper.LOL.I know cheaper is not always best but I have a great deal of confidence in this dr.Wish me luck

Janie, my email at home still isn't working right, so I'll email you from work and we can chat about the seminar. Please use Dr. Pearce. Remember our nurse conversation about surgeons....... will write more in the am. Robbin
