July 5th is my date! Only SEVEN days left, that's just ONE WEEK AWAY!!!! I'm excited, nervous, happy, scared, you name it! I don't know if I've had this many emotions jumbled up at one time since I was preggo with my first kid! :blink: Of course, mostly, happy & excited... but the teeny, weeny little doubting voice in the back of my mind pipes in every now and then ....((Not a REAL voice! Don't worry I passed my psych eval! LOL))

I've been on a liquid diet for a week now and I guess it hasn't been so bad! I've "cheated" a little but mostly w'/ veggies & fresh fruit, so I don't consider it 'cheating' so much... I mean, if unsweetened applesauce is on the diet, why not a couple raspberries or strawberries? I mean, I'm not going out and getting the Whopper w/ cheese I've been CRAVING like crazy the last three days! I'm not worried about it, I'm still loosing weight so whatever!

Anyway, congrats fellow *****FIRECRACKERS****!! Our time is close... in fact, the whole nation is celebrating with us :lol:

LOSERS BENCH WATCH OUT! HERE WE COME!!!!!

I am more than ready :D Just 8 more days!!! I am very excited and all but it is strange...... I have this calm that has come over me in the last couple of days. I am not at all nervous or scared. Upon going to my final surgeon's appointment, he was amazed how much knowledge I had and he stated that I had really done my homework. I told him, when you have been jumping through the hoops for 8 months, you have plenty of time to do all the research you need! Let's just say move over on that "Losers Bench" the July Firecrackers are coming!!!

I ready! On day two of my pre-op diet. I have 13 days until surgery. I'm so psyched about this, that today while shopping on vacation, I bought my souvenir shirts in a size L, instead of my normal 2X. I know I will be able to wear the L in a few months. :rolleyes:

I can't wait guys. I'm so excited. :whoo:

Gratz! to all. I have a penciled in date but... I am still waiting on Aetna. Every time I call they say... We just received your precert. You aren't even in the system yet. They told me it might take up to 30 days. That will put me right before the penciled in date...

I was excited and looking forward to it until I heard about the lady who died with Dr. Kelly. Now, I'm nervous & scared. I imagine that I'll be going back & forth between all the feelings there are until it's over with. I get to go on vacation to the beach with some friends before I have to start the pre-op diet. So, I'll try my best to enjoy the end of the old me & get ready to welcome in the new me.

I am beyond ready! I am actually the one who started the first June thread because I thought that'd be my month. Now it appears I'll (hopefully) be a firecracker instead. My approval from Highmark BCBS (WV) is only good through August 19th so I hope they hurry and get me scheduled! I'll let you all know when I get a date. Please continue to keep us posted as everyone goes through surgery!

        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
