Ugh! I'M getting so nervous reading all of your posts!! I HONESTLY am more nervous for this surgery than I ever was for my lumpectomy!! I guess I should start to clean out my drawers and my closet too! I still need to by liq tylenol, and a few other things.

Yep, May 17 for me with Dr Garcia. Had a eroded lapband out on 24th January here in Alberta, but just couldn't wait for all the hoops to get the surgery here!!

Getting the lapband out was harder than I thought, so the sleeve will be a walk in the park compared to that!

I cannot wait to meet Dr. Garcia in person and start this whole thing. I have heard wonderful things about him from so many people. Congrats.

I just did my pre admission testing. EKG blood work chest X-ray. All good!! I am really getting nervous. Not of the surgery more of the fact that my god they are removing part of my stomach. For good!! I look at skinny people and hate them. Why can't I do it without this. But I can't.

I'm on day 7 of the pre-op diet and feeling tired today. But I know it is all worth it, I to wish I could do this without the surgery I can for a while then it comes back. So this is a must for me to become healthy for myself.

Just had my consultation today & set my date for May 14th or 15th (they have to verify with the hospital to know which day for sure). I'm at peace about the surgery, but nervous about getting all the preop tests & such done in the next few weeks since I'm in college & have finals now too, but I really don't want to wait on the surgery, so I'll make it work somehow!!

      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.
