I finally have the consultation with the surgeon set for Dec. 29th. I started the process in August and have met each of their requirements, however I'm still really nervous about having the surgery. In the past, with various diets, I've lost 50 lbs. or so and then find myself self-sabotaging. With this surgery, I don't dare. I contacted a previous therapist and told her what I was planning but haven't heard back from her. (She may be on vacation.) How did you all get into the proper mindset? I have had chronic pain since 1977, so the thought of more pain, weakness, etc. doesn't thrill me. But the thought of dying from obesity and the problems it causes doesn't thrill me either. Are there any other's out there who are around 68 planning to have the surgery?
