Do not doubt yourself, that is a mistake. Take it one day at a time listen to the people on this board they have been through up and downs and struggles and pulled out okay! You will be just fine. Make another appointment go and ask as many questions as you can. Your mind and your body will let you know when it is your time to change your life. Your foot is in the door, don't swing and go the other way...go through YOU WILL BE AMAZED ON HOW YOU WILL FEEL POST OP!!! LOVING MY SLEEVE!!!! KEEP US UPDATED.
    Just what I needed to hear! I won't give up and so glad you didn't and are doing so well! I plan to go Nov 12th! I will keep you all posted. Thanks again!

    I wish I fit underneath the bed, ah those were the days! ha ha. Thanks for sharing your journey and sounds like it all worked out the way it was suppossed too. I appreciate you sharing this, something to keep in mind on my journey. If you have a "regular" psychiatrist can you go to them for the approval? Thanks!

    The first jerk didn't care I saw someone on a regular basis the second one did !

    Oh my goodness, as I read the threads, it seemed as if all of u, became my sisters and brothers. We have truly worn the same shoes at one point or another. I chickened out to the point, I barely made it to the airport for my flight bcuz I was too afraid and kept coming up with a Illinois excuses

    I am 6 days post op and EXTREMELY HAPPY that I went ahead with the surgery. I am still a lil uncomfortable, but I welcome it. It just shows me that change is on the way.

    I am holding your hand while u muster up the courage to start the journey, of becoming the confident you, that has had to hide behind the weight.

    We r all here to help u through. We r sleeves for life.

    Thanks Patty, I couldn't agree with you more on all fronts. I am very spiritual in nature too. I have to trust God period. His will not mine be done. So, it will all work out the way he wants it too. That's how I have always believed and it's always worked out well for me. :") Thanks again, you contribute to the site just like all those other wonderful individuals that make this the most supportive site ever. I feel so connected and lucky to have found it! Thanks!
