All of my pre-op stuff has been done. I got the letter of clearance from my PCP. I got the results of my sleep study and yes I have sleep apnea but I'm not going to use a machine because I think it will go away pretty soon after surgery.

I have my nutritional class this Thursday morning where they will give me the post-op plan.

I have my pre-op appointment scheduled for next Wednesday morning.

She told me surgery is usually scheduled somewhere around 7-10 days after the pre-op.

I have a small window there for the last week in April to get it done. If I can't get it scheduled that week, I'm going to have to push it back to the end of June...:thumbup:

Please keep your fingers crossed for me that the stars and planets and whatever else align for me that I can get the surgery done in that small window!

I'm sick and tired of this pre-op diet and want to get on with my new life!

Thanks to both of you!

I've basically got a three day window to have the surgery week after next. Either that wednesday, thursday, or friday.

I sure hope it works cause I'm getting sick and tired of this PrescriptFit pre-op diet...:)

The nutritional class today was very informative. There were four other people there besides me..all getting the sleeve.

I got a lot of good information including what I need to do beforehand to prepare..what to bring with me...what to expect in the hospital, what to expect after the surgery, what meds they send you home with scripts for, the post-op diet, etc.

It's really becoming real!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
