RE: Feel I am becoming obssessed...

[Guest guest]

dobie,

Yes, I too also seem to be thinking about WLS very often. However, I don't

think you can stop learning. I have a child with high functioning autism

and you can never learn enough. there is always something to learn.

Feel I am becoming obssessed...

For any of you who are currently pre-op or those who are post-op I

have a question. Am I alone in the fact that I feel that I am

becoming obssessed with getting my WLS? I go to bed at night

thinking about it. I am online during the day doing research and

talking with others who have had the surgery. It seems that it has

become my focus.

And great, I just got a call that I am having to reschedule my visit

with the surgeon until the 20th of April. I had an appointment to

see him on the6th of April and now I have to wait a whole month to

get the process rolling. How disappointing.

I guess that is another two weeks that I get to worry and obsess on

whether or not he is going to go forward with me.

I understand completely where you're coming from. I have endured so

many appointment cancellations and disappointments along the way. This

path that we have chosen is not the " easy way " to say the least. I've

been working on this since last July. I finally have all of my

appointments and I am now waiting on that phone call. The one that says

my insurance has approved me. From there, I'll be scheduled for my

surgery.

I just wanted you to know that you're not alone in this. If you need

someone to talk to, I'm sure that I can speak for everyone when I say;

we'll be here for you. I've only just discovered this website about a

week ago. I wish I had known about it all along, it would have made the

road a little less bumpy.knowing that others felt the same way as me. I

wish you every good thing and all the luck in the world.

Be patient... your time will come and before you know it you'll be on

the losing side remembering the preop frustrations. No worries and no

shortcuts, just keep focused on the prize.

I started this rolling on January 25th and I have been completely obsessed since

then. It`s like it`s all consuming. I hope I get an approval soon. I know what

you mean.

Dora,

I'm so glad that I am not the only one that is more or less obsessed with this

surgery. You are so lucky to be seeing your Dr. in April. I have to wait until

my Medicare kicks in in September. By then I should have no friends or family

left sice I can't seem to hold a conversation about anything else. LOL

But isn't it wonderful that we have this lifesaving procedure to look forward

to.

Email me any time you need to obsess for a while!

I know what you mean....I am online all the time as well researching and

reading as many testimonials as I can. Some are upsetting when it didn't go

exactly right, and then I start wondering if that is right for me. But I know

doing it is right, just if anyone could help me, I am wondering how do you

decide

which surgery to have, Band or bypass?????? I can't seem to find out....I

haven't gone to the doctor yet but I am determined to get wls surgery. I am

tired of being tired all the time and never having any energy to do anything,

not

to mention all the embarrassing things that happen, like not fitting in a

booth in a restaurant.....oh well....someday I will be able to fit.
