Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
Getting scared. Can't sleep with my brain going all over the place.
I had a baby shower for my daughter yesterday and 2 deaths last week. I hope with things calming down I will be a better sleeper. I find my mind traveling where I don't want it to. Worried about this flesh eating desease I heard about on TV. Worried about infection after my surgery. Less than a month away I am hoping to drop my other 5 pounds by my pre op date of April 7. If I don't lose the whole 13 I am worried that they won't do the surgery. The truth is I have dieted for so long, I swear the only time I lose is if I don't eat anything.
My doctor wants $ 1000.00 up front too. I have that, but I got a bill from his office that $350.00 was put to my $500.00 deductable. Now I am worried that he will want that before surgery. OMG, I have to breathe. Just venting thanks for listening.

Welcome to the group, you're in the right place for support.
It WILL all work out. You will lose that last five pounds, the surgery will go wonderfully and you will be on the road to the best life you ever dreamed of. You can work with the doctor's office on the fee, call them and ask. Have faith honey, we're with you!
Hugs! Patricia
I am so sorry for your loss.
