Just had my consult with surgeon yesterday and man full of questions and thoughts. I've yet to do the scope down my stomach, but expect in next month. No surgery date set yet, but probably March 2023.

My already mental issues I'm already dealing with is my self disappointment that the reality I'm Severely Obese. Second, fear of change of lifestyle and eating, will I be able to do it? Also, starting to learn/understand eating has some how become a part of something to do in retirement. I do not binge eat and actually eat like one full meal a day. But, keep putting weight on, 286lbs at 5'7"!

I do realize this is for my health and live longevity and what's pushing me forward. Any advise please in starting this journey and dealing with all the mental thoughts?
