Finally Have My Surgery Date!



Recommended Posts

Although my appt is September 25th I am anxious and nervous. More excited of course. I am ready to change my life and become healthy and happy. I wonder how many fills it took for everyone to get there band right for them. I am concerned I'll have to keep going back and wont lose the amount of weight. Also there are worries that I'll need to change my ways of eating. I'll need to Basically be on a diet of Protein and low sugar foods. I know drink mostly Water. I heard its ok to drink sport drinks like Powerade or Gatorade okay? Or juice like Snapple or just strictly water? Because I have a real hard time drinking just water! I may get a food list I can use but what does everyone eat that is helpful?? Since I'm posting this in pre-op surgery people haven't had surgery yet maybe some people know what's best to eat?

Buy some Crystal light flavors to use with Water. I freeze the water and Crystal light in the freezer and it comes out like a snow cone texture. You feel like you are eating ice cream. Congratulations on your date! Mine is Aug 6.

      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. 🤞
