Ditto on the feelings of craziness! I also have been very successful for short periods of time on various diets and food plans over many years. Having surgery is a permanent, long term solution for me. WE CAN DO THIS!

My date is March 2--just two days. My doctor is Dr. Weaver in Memphis and she is an angel! I have been on the liver shrink diet since February 16 and have lost 17 lbs in 12 days. A little antsy but more excited for the change that is about to take place in my life!!! Good luck to all Marchers!!!

You are welcome, Cindy! We have a TON of March sleevers! It really is encouraging to see a list of so many others who are getting sleeved with us in March! YAY! I don't know anyone IRL who is sleeved, so all of y'all are my only source of info and support! I hope that everyone will keep on sharing after we're sleeved! I'm so nervous about the "after"!!! LOL!

Wow, I am so happy to have found this topic to see how many other people are having the sleeve in March. I am March 22nd with Dr Michael Perez in Fort Lauderdale at Holy Cross Hospital. I am already following my pre-op diet to get a head start on weight loss as I want to be around 250 on my surgery day. My diet is 3 Protein shakes and 3 really small meals consisting of mainly Protein. I love my surgeon! He is so caring and really loves helping overweight people even though he is supertrim and very handsome! Please keep up this March Sleevers club with lots of updates to keep us all on track. Can't wait for my surgery day!

Make that date March 15th...got moved up a week and am the first pt of the day! Also, already had my pre-op, my pcp visit for clearance, ekg, chest xray. Only have labs to go and pre-register at the hospital. It's going to go so fast now...will be here before I know it.

I'm sending good wishes and blessing to March 1 folks! Stay in touch and let us know how you're doing! I'm March 3, and continue to be very excited (and a little nervous). WE CAN DO THIS!

Have a blessed day everyone!

      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.
