Obsessed!!

I am becoming obsessed with having WLS. I check on this site at least twice a day. I cannot stop thinking about having surgery. But I am still so far away from even the consult. I just can't take this waiting. I have been dreaming of it. I am so worried I will not get approved. Does anyone else feel this way?

Yes... I am the same way. I have nightmares about not being able to have the surgery, or about something going wrong. I understand you completely. Right now my focus is on the surgery.. it's all I think about too. No worries, I think it's normal.

Marianne If you read old post I wrote one saying the same thing I know exactly how you feel! My life revolves around surgery. If you want to read it my post was called "Surgery Obsessed" Waiting for the approval is the hardest part. I called my insurance company and they told me that there was no record for my surgery request in the computer, when I was told it was sent out 3 weeks ago. So I just wait and wait and wait. I'm to the point now I call my insurance everyday to see if it's in the computer. Once it's in the computer I still have to wait and see if I get approved. Ahhh.. I'm whining now, but back to the point... I'm exactly the same. Stacy

Ah, I know exactly what you mean. I've been on this road for over a year and a half and the whole time I've been obsessed! My parents are so sick of hearing about it, lol! I also feel like my life is on pause, I'm afraid to start anything new... I want to wait till I'm happy and sure about what I want to do with my life. LOL, I haven't bought any new clothes since I decided on this either, all my pants have huge holes in them... ARGH!!

IM TOTALLY OBSESSED TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And i havent even had the consultation either. Its on June 4! ~Amy

I was completely obsessed with surgery before it happened for like a year! Everything revolved around it, and I never wanted to start anything new because I just wanted to wait until after surgery. Sometimes I still catch myself thinking about having surgery and then I'm like DUH!! I ALREADY HAD IT! It's crazy. But you'll get through it and it'll all be worth the wait Good luck! -Monika

Hey all. I have been obsessed with this surgery for about 2-3 years now. I just recently started talking to my parents about it ... I had a meeting with a surgeon and now i have to try and get approved. Im so scared that i wont be getting approved. Im young havent had 6 months supervised diet. I work full time , i go to college 2 days a week and my life just seems to be falling apart. My mother has cancer , about 7 years ago i found out. She doesnt want to get the treatments that MIGHT help. Im a "cutter" if you have heard that term before. I moved to florida about 8-9 months ago and its been very very hard. I tend to cut to take away the pain but it really never helps. I couldnt tell ya why i still do it.... I just really want this surgery. I want my life to go on. I want to be happy for a chance and i want to be healthy. For some reason it seems like that is so far off , or it may never come close to happening. Im falling apart completely and i need this like you wouldnt believe. It may sound dumb but i need a kick in the ass to get going. OK enough *****ing. I honestly and trully hope you all the best in what you try to achieve. I know i need all the help i can get. If anyone cares to talk Email me at [email protected] or IM me on MikexnxShell. Good luck and best wishes Michelle -shelly-

I feel blessed. I made a call to Spectrim in Culver City, CA one month ago and I am already approved and I have a date for surgery. I am still anxious but I am excited to have a month to eat my last meals. Everyday it is something different. I am 21. If I had to wait, I too would be going crazy.
