Welcome ABetterMe! How are you doing?

I'm doing better everyday. Thank you. I go back to work next week, so I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for that.

So far, so good. The liquid diet was tough the first few days, but now I'm just rolling along. Looking forward to Thursday. I keep thinking that I'm going to get a call any minute and told that they're going to have to change it, or that my insurance has changed their mind (LOL).

I see your in Dallas. I lived in Dallas my whole life until January 2009. Who was your doctor, if you don't mind me asking? If that makes you uncomfortable, I understand.

LOL...I'm sure those are normal thoughts. I had my surgery exactly two weeks after my consultation, so I didn't really have time to think about it. I was so busy with the pre-op diet, scheduling pre-op lab work, pre-op class, and my cardiac clearance. Plus my mom was admitted into the hospital a week before my surgery. It didn't actually hit me until I was waiting in the lobby at the hospital.

Oh I don't mind. My doctor is Dr. Nicholson of the Nicholson Clinic. June of this year will mark my 6th year in Dallas.

Rescuehoney - I am 1 day behind you. My dr started letting me have yogurt and cottage cheese after 3 days. I added scrambled eggs yesterday. I think it is what you feel up to and what your dr's instructions are.

March 21st with Dr. Salzberg at Riverside Hospital in Newport News, VA

Very cool, Dr. Salzberg banded me in Norfolk VA in 2008. She was very nice back then, with a different team though. I recall going in for surgery day and expecting my DR Wolgmuth (sp) and she came in and I said hello and she started talking and then said so anything I can do for you and I said.... ummm no but when can I see my Dr? She said you are looking at her! Haha I was suprised bc I had never met her. She did a great job, even though it was removed last week and revision to sleeve with my dr now in Texas

I'm up because sleep is not working. 1.5 hrs till I leave for the hospital. Anxious, nervous, excited. I can't even slow my thoughts down.

      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.
