Think About WLS Too Much?

My family seems to think that I am obsessed with having this surgery and that it has taken over my mind. My defense is, I just want to educate myself now, so that when I finally have it, I know some of what to expect. Yeah, I check the board every day and I talk about it alot, but its because I know this is my only way out getting rid of the health problems I have and becoming the person I want to be. It's like my husband is jealous or something when I mention WLS, its like its another man!!!!

I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN I BECAME OBSESSED WITH GETTING ALL THE INFORMATION I COULD. THEN READING OTHER PEOPLES STORIES. I ALSO LIKE TO LOOK AT THE BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES. BUT I GUESS I GOT ALL THE INFO I NEEDED BECAUSE NOW I HAVE A DATE OF DEC.6. AND I KNOW IF IT WASNT FOR ALL THE INFO I GOT HERE IT WOULDNT HAVE GONE SO QUICKLEY. I HAD MY SEMINAR ON SEPT. 17 MY CONSULTATION ON SEPT.26 GATHERED ALL MY MEDICAL RECORDS AND THINGS AND IT TOOK ME THREE WEEKS TO COME UP WITH THE 300 FOR MY PSYCH. EVAL. IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR THAT THINGS WOULD HAVE WENT EVEN FASTER SO I THINK BEING EDUCATED HELPS SPEED THE PROCESS. AND THIS IS A GREAT SIGHT!!!!!!! YOU WILL NOT BE SO OBSESSED WHEN EVERYTHING FALLS INTO PLACE. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!! JENNY

Well, I'm beginning to worry because I don't see anyone on the board who has had the same surgeon, Dr.Goldman. I have heard from those who have had other surgeons on the team. I just wanted to get another point of view. So, if anyone is out there, please email me.
