Amanda, are you getting nervous?

I know you have to be because I am getting all nervous and excited for you!!!

Let me know how your surgery turns out. Is Dr Cunningham who you are using? I know you said but I am too lazy this morning to look it upl

I've been hearing good things about Dr Cunningham.

Keep in touch!

Sorry, I didn't see this until just now!

I'm ready. It's hard not to tell everyone what I'm doing because I'm so excited. My husband has a huge, very opinionated (not to mention SKINNY) family, and I've told a few of his cousins, but I'm trying to keep it to myself until after the surgery. We had a bridal shower for my sis-in-law today and I sat politely with my bottle of Water while everyone else ate the yummy food. I've got to sit through one more shower tomorrow, then Monday should be fine because I have no plans.

I'm not nervous yet. Ask me Tuesday, and I'll probably be a ball of nerves. I bet I won't get any sleep Monday night!

What's the update with you?

I haven't told many people about mine yet. I'm waiting to make sure the consultation, pshyc and lab work is all good.

I'm pretty sure it will be but just in case, I am keeping mum.

My hubby is afraid for me to have the surgery and I keep telling him most people don't have complications, but he is worried. Says I don't eat hardly anything as it is, and they are going to do something to make me eat less. Thinks I am going to starve to death. I guess he doesn't pay much attention to what I eat during the day. It's not a lot of food, just bad choices, but I'm working on that everyday as hard as I can right now.

I'm just going to take it one day at a time and work on what I can.

You are doing great!! Sipping Water at a shower is very very hard to do. One more and you are home free.

I am so excited for you, because I know how much and bad I want to have mine done. I'll be praying for you this week.

Let me know if there is anything at all that I can do for you, I'm not too far away if you need something.

My consultation is just over a week away.. Hopefully I'll have the chapters of paperwork filled out before then. Man it's a lot of things to fill out..

Take care of you and keep me posted.:bored0:

      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.
