I'm early November and can't wait to get the show on the road! I have to get the routine pre open testing' date=' and I'm good to go! (Lord willing!) I am getting excited because it has been quite the journey to get to this point. I am already cutting back and excercising. I'm ready for this lifestyle change![/quote']

Anyone else a Nov 7th band date? I am just waiting for final insurance clearance. I work at the hospital where my surgery will be (in the preop area) so I asked if I could start the diet in hopes for that date. My insurance usually precerts quick, as several employees at the hospital have had it done. Have been on the diet one week and lost 16 pounds! I am convinced that was mostly Fluid. This week (week 2) my body will he going into that fat storage, and it aint gonna want to give it up easily! Because of the low carbs in the shakes, I have no appetite. I have everything else done so just waiting for insurance. I am so excited! I have been reading thos forum for some time now and have really learned alot. You all are a wonderful source of information and support!

      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.
