Hi! I was recently approved for gastric sleeve by my insurance with a condition that it be done before the end of the year even after they made me jump through all kinds of hoops the rest of the year lol. My surgery date is December 21. I am scared. I am wondering if I can really do this. I am wondering if I am crazy for being willing to have part of my body cut off. But I am a 344 pound 39 year old who is completely miserable in her body. I am in a life with a wonderful hubby and 5 year old daughter, but in a body that can't quite keep up with them and all the things I want to and need to do. I also am one of those people who resents having to take medication and be "dependent" on it. I am having issues with the idea of having to take vitamins the rest of my life, but have pretty much accepted that. I am bothered that I was just told yesterday that I also am suppossed to take prilosec every day for the rest of my life. I also suffer from depression and am on Pristiq and worried about how it is going to work post-surgery.
