I just start my liquid diet today, so far so goo, tomorrow I have my Pre-Op Educational Class and Wed. my Exercise class. Tentative surgery date is Dec. 28 if they can squeeze me in if not Jan 3rd. I understand that one of the insurance companies is cancelling their benefits for WLS, so my doctor is trying to fit in everyone with this insurance...and I totally understand that, so I will be patient...only thing is that I might end up being for 3 weeks on the liquid diet pre-op :)) Small sacrifice :)

I am so excited reading everyone's journey, I am learning what I need in the hospital and what to expect after the surgery...I am trying to take as little time off from work and I am in grad school online, and don't want to miss out a quarter....busy mom :)))

Ela2012, I hope you are able to get the dec 28 date but Jan 3 is coming quite quickly too!! Man, though, couldn't they give you a better idea to confirm so you don't have to do the pre-op liquid for any longer than necessary? Eeks! my big long pre-op class at the hospital is this wednesday. Kinda excited (what a nerd!)

Yes, the Isopure zero is super good, I hope I like it after surgery. It tastes kind of like weak koolaid. and none of that weird whey aftertaste. it does have an aftertaste, but liveable and nothign like the shakes.

The extra rest will not come from staying an extra night in the hospital! But, if you don't feel you are ready to go home make sure the doctors know that and that your insurance will cover the extra night. Don't want to end up personally billed for it!

Danielle, how long it took you to recover from the surgery...I am trying to see how long I will have to be out of work :(

Not sure how much I will be able to rest in the hospital...read lots of blogs and it seems like someone is always in your room to check on you :)

I am sure I will feel much better when I get home, but I will have my laptop and kindle and phone ...so I will try to keep myself busy :)

I had surgery 12/5. My doctor gave me a note that I can go back to work 12/19. I feel fine enough that I could go back to my desk job now, but I sort of hate the job and don't mind a few days off feeling good :) Take it easy and do what you need to do!

Hello fellow December VSGers! I just had my surgery on Dec 16th. I had a lap band 2 yrs ago and had to have it removed July 2010 due to a leaking band and a bad infection. I lost 156 pounds with the lap band. After it was removed I gained back 40 pounds and decided to have VSG done.

        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
