I think I will be a late July as well! I just received insurance approval and go for my stress test this week, which is the last thing I need to complete before I get a date. A few weeks ago they were scheduling in June but I think by the end of this week I will end up in late July. I'm getting really excited and can't wait to get it over with! I am hearing different things about the pre-op diet. I have not met with my surgeon yet to get the actual directions so I am not 100% what that will involve. I hear some are a week on a liquid diet to shrink the liver and I hear others say they were put on a 24 hour. Does anyone know if this is something that is determined by each person's physical condition prior to surgery or just a surgeons choice for all their patients?

Good luck to everyone and I hope to get to know you all better!

I'm tentatively scheduled for July 16th. I guess they expect to get the insurance approval by then, so I'm psyching myself up for that date :smile2: 116 pounds from now I'll be a happy girl!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
