Hi Everyone!
My surgery date is 6/20, only 10 days away! I've been lurking the forums for a week or so now and figured I should post my greeting.
Though I have been contemplating WLS for many years now, I find that as it gets closer to actually happening, I am becoming more and more nervous. I've never had anesthesia, aside from the spinal block during my C-section, and part of me is worried I won't wake up. Or there will be complications and my bill will go super high. I'm paying out of pocket (yay credit cards...) because my insurance company is dumb and I don't want to wait the requisite 3 years before I'd be eligible. Complications mean WAY more money, that I probably can't afford. Hence the nerves.
I'm not nervous about the post-op changes to my life. I know there will be an adjustment and it won't be easy, but it WILL be awesome, hence the hopefulness.
Anyway, I'm glad to have found this resource as I begin my journey. Everyone seems so supportive and friendly!
