Here I Go! Last Pre-Op Post!



Recommended Posts

I'm settled in my hotel room at the beautiful Marriott in Tijuana. I've drunk the last of my chicken broth and am finishing my Water.....at 6:40 a.m. tomorrow morning the driver will bring me to Dr. Ortiz's hospital, and then next time you hear from me I WILL BE BANDED.

Really nervous and excited -- is this really happening? It seems like every thing has gone so fast!

Look forward to reporting to you guys tomorrow afternoon if I feel up to it......Yay!

Sending me good healing thoughts and prayers tomorrow.....and yay for my fellow August 27 band-sisters too!

Oh, that's super-sweet of you.....it's all but gone. On the very off chance that I still have any coughing, I have a friendly pillow to push against my stomach and a friend gave me an abdominal binder. But I feel pretty good. I'm ready to rock and roll! How about you? :-)

Still have a very slight cough, but its only brought on now by laughing. ;) I will have to commandeer one of my daughters pillow pets just in case...

I am nervous though and wishing I were tired enough to go to bed already.

I will be watching for your posts tomorrow. We're going to be on the other side soon. :)

      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
