I'd been hoping for may 21 all along so I said let's schedule it and she said may 21 was full so I got the next week (28th) bI had to hang up before I got busted on my phone lol. She just said call back for my pre op. they were already gone so ill catch them Monday. ð

So Amine, how's the pro op diet going?? Did u buy their shakes? My friend who went through IBC said their Protein shakes are a lot higher in Protein so fill u up better and it last longer...

I hope all is going well!

Hey Ginger!

I'm doing pretty good so far I'm on Day 4 and not having any issues really. I bought the Baratric Advantage from there office. Its enriched with a lot of good vitamans and such. I think all there bags have 35 servings in them so I bought 2 bags to be sure I had enough! And yes they fill you up and I was suprised! I take atleast 3 a day and then have a WW meal for dinner. I think I have dropped 8 pounds already!!

I got my approval today! I'm scheduled for May 28th.

Well, we willl be going in for surgery on the same day the 28th of May. I was thinking of getting mine pushed up, but i think it is to late, they are most likely booked up plus I am a little scared anyway. Hope everything goes well with you. I start liquids on the 22nd.

I'm doing pretty good! Just relaxing and getting up and walking around a 2 hours. Surgery went awesome! Didnt have any issues in recovery other than switching beds. But you will be taken care of!

Hey Kellhale! I just posted on another thread about a support group that meets a the Illinois Bariatric Center in Champaign the first Thursday of every month at 6:00. It helped me a lot when I started out, and I really encourage anyone to go at least a few times to meet people in the same boat as 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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
