Hang in there LuLu you can do this. You want it bad enough you can make it happen.

It does go to show you how much doctors differ though. I had a BMI of over 78 and all I was asked to do was lose 5% of my weight which was 24 pounds. I am now day 8 post op and my BMI is still 70...weird

I know exactly how you feel. I havea HUGE BMI Number (80) and have to lose 50 lbs total for him to do the surgery. It is cool with me cause I have 15 gone already!! Just 35 more to go. I have until May the 8th and then I should have my surgery on the 24th. I am Horribly obese and am way looking forward to the band surgery!! Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I am doing Protein shakes 3 times a day until the surgery date..want to make the surgery as easy as I can for me and the Doctor. I have 14 days to drop 35 lbs...but I can do it...or at least be VERY close!!

If I can do it, you can too...it just takes a bit of willpower and you will benefit from it very quickly!! Good Luck!!

BTW where do I get a ticker??

My doctor said there is something called gastric balloon that is done for people who need to lose weight for the surgery. It's a balloon that is inserted through the mouth to the stomach then filled with saline solution keeps you feeling full but has to be removed within 6 months. It should help people lose 25-40 pounds or more even.

I am not suggesting, but I just thought i'd share my knowledge :P

Good luck to us all on this journey.

The gastric balloon is not available in the US but I have read about it. It is a short term fix but also very simple and doesn't require surgery. It is available in Canada. Costs around 4500 US dollars

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

        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.

      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
