Hi everyone. I am new to this forum. My surgery is scheduled for 10/7. My husband had his surgery almost a year ago. He is down 80 pounds. He feels awesome! He recommended I join and check out the forums. I started this journey back in January when I attended the initial group meeting. Things were put on hold due to pandemic. I got the call today to schedule my consulation on Oct 1st and surgery is scheduled for the 7th. I figured my initial feeling would be excitement, but I have to admit, I’m really nervous about the surgery. I don’t like the idea of going near a hospital with “The Covid”, as I call it. I know they are taking all precautions though. Plus, I’m just plain scared. I’m not sure why. I know I need it, and it will be a game changer for me. I’ve struggled with my weight since 2nd grade, and I’m 53 now. I have a bad back and have had 2 back surgeries. I am so limited
to activities as my back is prone to go out (a couple of times a year), and I am scared to do anything. I do what has to be done around the house (laundry and dishes), but that’s about it. I am looking forward to being more active and enjoying life more. I would love to hear about your experiences, good & bad, if you’d care to share.
