Hi everyone! I just recently found this group and thought it would be a great idea to sign up. I'm scheduled for surgery on 11/2 and I'm very excited. I will be having the sleeve done. This isn't the first surgery I will be having so they are calling it a revision. I previously had a lap band - and did wonderfully with it (which is why I chose the sleeve) - but due to erosion I had to have it removed. I lost well over half my weight with the band but once I had it removed I went back to the previous habits I had and, well, here I am again. I had to go through a 6 month supervised weight loss program before my insurance would cover it so I'm glad that's over with.
The hardest part of all this for me is right now. It seems as if my mind is telling me "you know you're not going to be able to eat afterwards so you better enjoy it now". I'm struggling not to eat everything in sight. How did you all overcome this when you were waiting for your surgery?
Looking forward to getting to know you on this journey
