I'm scheduled for October 14th in Grinnell, Iowa with Dr. Stephen Sundberg. I'm past being nervous now, I'm excited!! I am getting a little tired of my pre-op diet, but it's a means to an end-the end of the UNHEALTHY me!!! I'm in love with this forum, and since I will be off of work for 6 weeks after the surgery, I'll probably be one here quite a bit out of pure boredom if nothing else lol. Wishing everyone well!!

That's funny Chris! I had to start my pre-op diet last Friday terrih1, they're making me do it for 2 weeks. Today was pretty hard because we went grocery shopping for a pot luck we're going to this weekend...I was just about drooling by the time we left the store. My poor hubby was saying things like "here, look, cheese!! You can have cheese!!" and I'm standing there eye-balling the cinnamon rolls. One more week, eye on the prize, one more week... lol! I'm so glad that there are other people going through this with me!!!

Oh, no, Heller!! I'm sorry, lol! I didn't even realize that! I only said that cause her name is 'smallgirls'!! I'm sorry! It was not meant in any way to size....oh,man....and here we all are, persecuted our whole lives cause of our size, and I have to go and put my foot in my mouth!

So, you can be SlenderSteph!!! :D

I 100% know that you did not intend it, and I honestly am not offended at all. At first when I read it I though, huh why does she get to be "smallsteph" then I realized her name too. I honestly laughed out loud. You're wonderful to organize the October Sleevers !

Smallgirlsxthree has been an email/screen name for about 10 years-I have 3 small girls, last name is small...play on words lol. I have never in my life been called small, little, petite, cute, slender or anything like that-other than my last name!!! Stephanie, once we start rocking this sleeve, we can call ourselves the Slender Sleeve Sisters!! :P

        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.

      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
