Guest guest Posted March 4, 2006 Report Posted March 4, 2006 , I have anxiety attacks also so it's not going to help to tell you to take a breath and relax. What I am going to tell you is to follow your doctor and your nutritionist's diet recommendations. The surgery will come and you will have a brand new tool that will be capable beyond your wildest dreams. I spent 33 years obese. I went into my surgery at 400 lbs. I had tried every diet there was and yo-yoed about 100 lbs. up and down. I never reached a weight even close to goal before I would go back up. This surgery saved my life. The first six months of your recovery will go by so quickly and you will be having so much fun losing weight you won't even think about the foods that are " forbidden " . I am four years out and this tool hasn't failed me yet. Would I do it again? You betcha. Feel free to email me anytime if you'd like to chat. Nettles6969@... We are a very active support group.
