Yahoo - June 24th for me at Great Lake Weight Loss in MI. They have a reasonable self pay program so you don't need to travel out side the US. Can't wait to start this new journey!:confused:

My surgery date is June 9th. I am so excited. I am not really nervous although I might start to get nervous as it gets closer to going to the hospital. I am having such a hard time with the pre op liquid diet-I am so hungry and cranky. But-this is all worth it b/c I will be getting my life back and to who I used to before my weight took over my life. I also keep talking about my surgery a lot-my boyfriend is starting to get annoyed. Good luck all June Bandsters! ( And all other months too, of course:) ). It would be neat if there was a group for June Bandsters, so we could all go through this at the same time--anyone know of any Yahoo Groups or is anyone interested in starting one up?

Hello, I am also scheduled for June 14th :biggrin:. I am a bit nervous about the pre-op diet that I start this coming Sunday. Has anyone else had problems with the pre-op diet?

Im on day 2 of my liquid diet. As they say, the only easy day was yesterday. Im taking Muscle Milk, broth (chicken, beef and Vegtable) sugar free Jello and pudding. I think the secret is not waiting until you are starving, but once you start to feel hungry, to have one of your "food" sources. The muscle milk keeps me going for about an hour or two. In between time I have jello and Water. Am I full- no. Is it fun-no, but it is bearable.

Hi, i was banded yesterday June 1st. The surgery went smooth & well. Only pain yesterday aside from the soreness was the gas pain in my shoulders and back. Today I have pain/stinging I assume where my port is. Trying to not focus on the pain. I have drank Water, ate Jello, broth, and Protein Myoplex. Have not had nausea or anything like that. I am hoping the small amount of pain i am feeling goes away quickly.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
