Finally the day I have been waiting for since beginning this whole process in October is less than 24 hours away! I have a whole rush of emotions... nervous, anxious, excited, terrified.. I hope this is all normal. I will be in the hospital until Wednesday, possibly Thursday but I should be out by Wednesday. Good luck to everyone having surgery this week. We are all going to kick some butt!! I just keep reminding myself of how awesome it's going to be a year from now.

Here we go! :)

My surgery is tomorrow too. I have already lost 14 pounds in two weeks of the pre-op diet. I am really excited about this too. At the same time terrified. This is my first ever surgery.

Ive got my surgery tomorrow as well.....and still haven't heard from my facility or doctor about my preop instructions and the time they need me at the hospital...etc. It makes me nervous but not anymore nervous then I would have been if I had all this info. already. I did start my own liquid diet on the 3rd and I cheated last night for a mothers day dinner and ate some sushi. But I still lost about 4 pounds and I still have today chaulked full of Protein so maybe I'll get another pound off. I plan on doing some excersises tonight...a bit of walking and riding a bike. I dunno why.... just sounds like a good idea alll of a sudden. haha. I will be at Marina Del Ray with Dr. Feiz. I plan on being back at school by thursday for testing and stuff. I am nervous, excited, anxious,.....just a whirlwind of emotions. I hope that when I am about to go under I don't do anything crazy like start crying and talking like a nutt. And My Preop shower will be very thorough. My belly button will be getting its fair share of attention (I hear doctors find some wild stuff in belly buttons), my legs will be smooth and everywhere else will be handled--sry TMI. I got my toes and fingers done at the nail place yesturday. It kind of feels like I am getting ready for a big date or something....haha. I guess I am. Anywho...good luck to both of you and can't wait to hear about everybody's recovery process too. I'll keep in touch. -Steph

Today is my first full day of just liquids then tomorrow surgery at 8:30! We are all going to do awesome! Let me know how you girls do!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
