Dovie, talk with your PCP about anxiety meds. You do so sound a little panicky (I have had severe Panic Disorder for the past 8 yrs an dknow that they are NOT fun.) They do have meds to control your anxiety. And I already spoke to my Dr about "the day before my surgery anxiety". He says he will help me there. I know I'll be freaking out that day! Good luck.

Dear Dovie: It sounds like your having panic attacks. Maybe it would benefit you to be on a medication like Zoloft or Paxil. Your cyst on the back of your head sound harmless. Cysts are filled with fluid, it may drain on its own someday. Take Care, LUV NATALIE

Dovie, I am 5'6" and started at 388lbs. I have seen others on here that have been where we are and now weigh 150,160 lbs. Im 4 1/2 months postie and have lost 76 lbs. I just started working out and am beginning to watch VERY closely what I eat so I can make it too. You CAN do it....just follow the rules= tons of water, protein first then veggies and fruit avoid carbs and junk foods as much as possible. Go to support group mettings and stick with AMOS. Good luck to you!!!

Hi Dovie, I am 5'10" and weighed about 300 pounds when I had a Duodenal Switch (bpd/ds). I am now at goal 18-months later and weigh 160. Please read my profile if you want more info. I kept a journal from beginning to end. I believe you will get down to at least 200 pounds, if not less, when you have this surgery. That would make you a size large. You really should consider the DS as it is more successful for people who are super morbidly obese, and it has a better rate of long-term success (keeping the weight off). God bless you as you do your research. Brenda
