AAAHHHH!!!! I'm freaking out!!! :D They opened up a new surgery date, and called to let me know I could have it if I wanted!! Well, OF COURSE I said YES!!! hahahaha!!!

We weren't expecting surgery to be until the end of August, at least, so I haven't been very diligent about my diet. Well, even though my Dr. only requires a 1 day liquid diet, I started myself on it yesterday. Decided it was better to go ahead, and try to lose a little more weight, and work on shrinking my liver. Can I just say it SUCKS??!! hahaha!!

My birthday is Friday....what an AMAZING birthday present!! SO excited to start my new life!!!!! :D

Wow!! Quite a few of us on the 27th!! YAY!!

My Dr. only requires a liquid diet for the day before, but I put myself on one on Tues. I did allow myself to eat dinner with my husband at our favorite restaraunt last night, and I was MISERABLE!! Ugh, it was AWFUL!! The food was amazing, but I am DEFINITELY not going to miss that "I'm so stuffed I can't move, and feel like I'm gonna throw up" feeling!!! Even still crappy today from it!! No more for me!! ;)

smacbeth, I see you're in Sterling Heights!! I'm in Adrian (not that you'd know where that is!! haahha!!), and having my surgery at Barix in Ypsi. Are you having yours up in your area???

I grew up in Adrian and graduated from there. I live near Saline now. I know where the Barix clinic is in Ypsi. I had mine done in Livonia at St. Mary's hospital with Dr. Zeni but I know some people that had their surgery at Barix and they were happy. Good luck to you, neighbor!

Congrats and Happy birthday!!!

I'm scheduled for the 27th too. I am SO nervous. I was fine and excited and so ready before I got the date and then once I had a solid date, I panicked. LOL

Looks like there are quite a few of us, maybe we can stick together and all be surgery date buddies! :)

      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
