Hello, fellow "Jewel",

Pre-op testing is routine bloodwork, speaking with a hospitalist about what of my daily medications should I take the morning of my surgery, probably an EKG and maybe a chest xray. It's just a last minute check up to make sure I am healthy enough to have surgery.

Welcome, Melissa to the "necklace" of "The Jewels of June". I can't believe that our time to "sparkle" is almost here, can you?

Sometimes I wonder how I can be so excited and so frightened at the same time. I know that with eachother's support all of use Jewels will come together on the other side of surgery and be as beautiful as an opera length strand of cultured pearls.

Please, keep in touch.

Valentina

      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.
