I should be in December. I am hoping for a date over the Christmas holidays since I am a teacher. I find out Saturday when I see my doctor! Good luck. The big day will be here before you know it!

My surgery is scheduled for December 6 so I will be in the same boat with some of you missing Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. I will be starting my Preop diet on November 22. I am starting to get very excited and a little bit nervous.

weightnomore where are you located in Virginia? I am in Richmond.

Hi, I am in the western part of Northern Virginia. My brother and his family live in Richmond. Are you having your surgery at Bon Secours? I had my one on one nutrition consultation on Monday and she said the doctor did not mark down any pre-surgery weight loss goal for me. She thinks I will not have to do any pre-surgery diet. What a relief. I guess it is because my BMI is on the low end. I will be on liquids for two weeks after surgery and mushies for 6 weeks. I'm getting more and more excited.

I talked to the lady who I'm working with @ my surgeon's office...

she said my nutritionist report thingy should be in on Monday. And, then it all will be submitted to insurance.

and, gave me an appointment to meet with my doctor.

yay!

i'm starting to get nervous i won't get approved... or i wont get approved in time (December)

if I can't get it done in December I'll have to wait until April for Spring Break. :( the wait now is just killing me.. I can't imagine waiting longer.

Your surgery is the day before mine and I hope to be eating mushies by Christmas, since I am on liquids for two weeks. That means I start mushies on the 21st. Guess that means cottage cheese and Soup for Christmas dinner-yum, yum!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
