Screaching Halt to my journey



Recommended Posts

:smile2: I have been ssooo disappointed and dejected all week. I was so excited about getting my surgery date of 11-11. Then when I went in for my pre-surgery work up, the nurse pract. said that I was no longer cleared for surgery. My GYN had wanted to do a minor surgery that he said would not interfere with my lap-band. But the lap band folks did not agree. So we pushed the lap band back to 11-22 with the GYN surgery to be Mon 11-8. THEN my potassium dropped to 2.7 because of the quick Water loss from the Liquid Protein diet, so that put a screaching halt on everything. The potassium went back to normal after I began eating again. After a long talk with the GYN he decided that I need more work from the pulmonary folks before we do any surgery. Bummer. xq!@#$%&^. I was so darn close, but I just knew something would happen and it wouldn't get done. They say it will still happen soon. The GYN is trying to push the pulmonary visit to be soon. I hope, I hope. Hope everyone of you Nov folks have good luck. Hang in there! We'll all be successful. :)

      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. 🤞
