Addicted to WLS research

Is it normal that I spend every non-working waking moment researching and trying to learn more about WLS. I am addicted. I am pre-op and have only had my orientation, but I am so excited!  And I want to learn everything and be as prepared as possible.  

Has anyone ever heard of anyone not "making the grade", not able to get the surgery? 

Yup...normal.  I was convinced I knew all that there was to know.  Upon my return home from the hospital, I soon learned I knew nothing!!! 

It's always good to educate yourself as much as possible of couse, but the rest.....you will  just learn as you go.  

I rarely hear of people being flat out refused.  Delayed perhaps..... if they detect psychological or physical situations that would put you somehow at risk.  They would then direct you to someone who could help.

I'm still hooked 6 months post op

Yup! With the wait to have surgery, it's driving me a bit nuts actually.

Yeah. That was me in February, March. Now I've kind of settled in a bit. I still think of something here and there and research my butt off (and buy all the supplements, blenders, new kitchen wares etc.) but being my surgery is next month, I've kinda relaxed a bit. 

Everyone says like above, you can read all you want but until you've lived it, its not going to mean much. So I'm just taking it a day at a time, and you will too.
