Tomorrow I Go See The Surgeon For My First Post Op Evaluation....nervous!



Recommended Posts

SO OK.. tomorrow will be the first time my surgeon sees me since i had the surgery back on 12-12-11. Im not sure what to expect.. Im a little nervous...NO FORGET THAT IM A LOT NERVOUS! I am soooo afraid that they are gonna tell me that im behind schedule of what im supposed to be losing. Ive heard stories ad i just don't wanna come out of there disappointed in myself..

I mean im doin everything that i can, i work out, and im getting in my Water and food(sometimes) im just afraid of what they will say..

I guess the only thing that I am excited about is for them to tell me what my ACTUAL goal weight is supposed to be.. the number on my ticker is just something that I made up cuz no one ever gave me a number.. i think im actually supposed to be somewhere around 160-165 because i do have a lot of muscle, but we shall see.

ANY ADVICE?!?!?!?!?! CUZ I THINK IM GONNA STRESS OUT UNTIL TOMORROW!

I think you will be just fine. I was nervous too! I saw mine for my 3 month check up. I had an okay visit. I wouldnt say it was the greatest but he said I was doing fine. He told me that my weight loss was going to start slowing down and I needed to up my exercise if I wanted to make goal but he could tell and had no doubt that I would! He had not set a goal for me so I asked him about it. He asked me where I wanted to be and I said 135 sounded good to me and he said "me too!". He did tell me that I needed to get down to about 125 so I would have some room for rebound when my weight decided to settle out... I took the positives and ran with it. I go again Feb. 10 for my 6 month check up. Good luck tomorrow and tell us what he says!

My only advice is to take a deep breath. Everything will turn out fine. It wouldn't hurt to talk over an idea on a goal weight with your surgeon to get some kind of direction.

Let us know how it goes!

        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
