Pre-Operative Testing*Finished*



Recommended Posts

I just finished up my Pre-Operative Testing for my LapBand surgery. On Monday I have my EGD test and then I start my two week liquid diet. My actual LapBand surgery will be on Tuesday May 21, 2013.

I am so excited and a bit nervous at the same time. I am ready for a change and this tool will help me achieve my personal goals. :)

I understand how you are feeling. My surgery is set for May 24th. I had to jump through all the insurance hoops the last 7 months so it feels like I have been waiting forever, yet now I am getting a little nervous, excited, anxious... so many emotions right now. Good luck with your journey. I hope to keep in touch since our surgeries are so close together. Maybe we can be band buddies. :D

Yay for May 24th! I can't wait. I finished my last day of work before my surgery today. Good luck to you. Glad to know there are so many people going through this with me.

Congrats to you! What kinds of testing did you have to do? I barely have my 1st consultation with the surgeon next Wednesday and I'm just curious on what I can maybe expect.

Good luck!! I had mine yesterday! Tired, but the worst is the gas pains. And like you, I'm glad other people have done this too! :)

      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
