Congrats!!!! I share the same Sleeve date w/you. I am actually getting nervous, b/c I have 2 week pre-op diet and I actually started it 02/21/12 instead of 02/28/12 and I am so glad that I did b/c the 1st 2 days were horrible for me. Can't wait to hit the Loser's Bench!!!!!!!Yay

My surgeon does only a 2 day preop liquid diet. He said I could do a week if I wanted - I'm thinking about doing it. I need to say goodbye to food before surgery. I'm terrified and excited all at the same time!

I have been scheduled for March 13th. This will be my 3rd surgery as I had the gastric band placed in August if 2008 and then removed in August of 2010. I am still as nervous as the first procedure. Has anyone else been fitted for a binder?

@Stacey, I wish that I only had to do a 2 day pre-op. I was asked why I started a week earlier. I knew going from having solids to liquids was gonna be hard for me. I am so glad that I started early b/c it was a challenge the first 2 days. I actually had the worst headache and nausea, but I am on day 4 and my actual pre-op start date is 02/28

A binder is to help support the stomach and back muscles in recovery after surgery. I am getting fitted on 2/28 and will know more about what its uses are.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
