You have to have a lot of will power because my inlaws live Adel and I dont know what I am going to do next June without all that good cooking. Congrats on the weight loss. I havent weighed myself since Monday.

I have heard through the grape vine that sometimes an upper gi or colonoscopy might happen pee surgery. What kinds of tests did you guys have to do pre surgery?

Thanks! How was your recovery Corrigan?

I almost hate to talk about it any more, but I had absolutely no pain, I went home the next day and

we went for a 2 mile walk. Not everyone is that lucky, but you may be. Let me know. I like to hear

from folks who went to a CoE.

Nice to meet you Roeroe! Would love to share this crazy journey with you. I don't yet have a date for surgery...just starting to jump through the hoops. I have been doing a self prescribed liquid diet during the day and a sensible dinner at night (well except for the night we had burritos from my favorite mexican place :) I have been doing his for he past 6 days and have lost 5 lbs. I guess I am just trying to pshyc myself up for the scary pre op liquid diet! What's your story?

The whole process was as easy as any I've ever done. I had no pain except for a little at incision

sites. So far I haven't experienced any down side. I hope it goes as well for you.

      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.
