Tick tock ... I will be getting on a plane in less than 8 hours. Ohh it's getting real. No nerves just excitement. I must say that the bowel prep sucked.

Goodluck

Got my approval today!!!! I am so stinking scared!!' now its real. The prep diet was not awful. I am just going nuts in my head making sure I want this. 99.9 percent wants it I should say I 100% want it. I am scared of life after there is no turning back.

What are your thoughts?

I felt like that too. I push to get it done fast and once it was here I was like wow I am really leting them roll me in here to surgery. I think almost everyone has this feeling but when its done and you see the pounds fall off and know your more health its worth it.

Thanks. You gave me an idea: sucking the BBQ Sauce off of a rib. huh? I might have to do that after surgery. BBQ and movie popcorn are two things I will go to my grave eating, just not a lot after May 14.

Your doing great with out sucking the sauce off a rib. You can make it :) May 14 right around the corner

Good luck to all your ladies on your way. I just said to my husband this time next Wednesday I will be in San Diego too - you are closer than me Sharon - I have butterflies and I'm excited. I love travel - being an Australian living in Canada, but I have also lived in New Mexico too - I love seeing new places and different people. I know it's surgery - but I like to be able to say - I've been there!!

This has become a huge group of people - keep us posted when you can.

Surgery Date: 17 May with Dr Garcia - WHOOOOO HOOOOO!!!

Glenda, as a Brit living in NJ, I also love travelling! I am secretly looking forward to being in Tijuana & hope I get some time to shop a bit too!

I am getting mighty nervous right now though, thinking this time tomorrow I will probably be out of surgery & hopefully sleeved! Yikes, scaring me a bit!

I am not scared of the afterwards, having to drink tiny sips & eat tiny bites. I am scared of the surgery itself & I hate pain, I am a big baby!

Sharon - shame we won't be there at the same time. I will add you as a friend and we can keep in touch. We speak the same "Queens English" no matter how long we have been away. Yes..... Australians speak English - correctly hahaha! I get hell here in Canada about my accent - but secretly all Canadians want to be Aussies (joking).

I am tough, had 3 children all natural births, lap band 2003, removal of lap band (worst ever hospital pain/visit) this January. I have tattoos on my toes (which hurts as well). I think all pain is forgotten to be honest and it will only be for a short term. When you live with constant pain - like many people do - then it's a different matter. You will be just fine - keep asking for stuff for the pain if it get's too hard - that is what it's there for.

Sandra - good luck for tomorrow xx

      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.
