October Surgeries!!



Recommended Posts

I was also out of control w/ the idea of "I must eat while I can" I started my pre-op liquid diet w/ one Atkins type meal per day. I have very few hungry days!! This is my second trip through pre-op diet due to a last minute insurance denial then 6 mos. they reversed themselved after appeal! It has been a terrible emotional rollercoaster, but the end is in sight. Only 11 more days!! Hope you get some relief!

Hey, only 10 more days! I am having a lot of problems with nausea the last couple of days. I tend to have extreme problems with nausea and vomiting after surgery regardless of what they give me. I am really nervous that if I am having problems like this on the pre-op diet, what will it be like post surgery. Any input?

Hi Everyone,

My sleeve surgery is Oct 11th. I'm very excited and I can't wait to be on the loser's side of this journey. I was going to do the lapband until I found this site and saw all of the people who were having such a hard time with them. I do feel like I have to eat everything prior to surgery but I know I had to stop it next week by Thursday because my surgery is the following Monday. I guess it's normal. Good luck to all my Oct. surgery friends.

I'm getting sleeved on the 13th but in Maryland. I've been doing two liquid Protein Shakes as replacements for Breakfast and lunch for the past month... per doctors orders and dropped 12 pounds. I started this journey at 346. Prior to starting the two shakes I had lost 11pounds so right now I'm down a total of 23. I've been on all liquids for the last four days to prepare for surgery, which I have to say totally SUCKS, but it's something we need to do to make the surgery a success! I have to keep reminding myself of that.

Best of luck to everyone having surgery in October and those to follow. This is the journey of our lives and we will succeed!!!!!

My surgery is on Monday, and I am really starting to get the jitters. I feel like I can't keep focused on anything, and sleep, well, has not been the best. I keep telling myself it will all be ok, but ya know how it is, those nagging little thoughts in the back of your head. :thumbup:

I'm leaving Dr Aceves on the 11th so I'll probably see a few of you gals at the airport! I cannot believe it's less than a week away. I just organized my pantry, Vitamins, and fridge today. Tomorrow I'm hitting the spare bedroom where I'll stay once I get back.

Well tomorrow's the big day!!! And I have decided on Vertical Sleeve Plication.

I'm excited! I've done my research, have gone back and forth with Sleeve Plication versus Sleeve Gastrectomy and unless something big changes tomorrow after my pre-ops then VSP it will be:) I'll let everyone know how things went as soon as I'm able:) Be Blessed and Good luck to all!

      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.
