I'm with Dr Oldham at Baptist East. Did you struggle with the pre-op diet?

How are you doing? How much weight have you lost?

I did not have to do a preop I have lost 65 lbs since april 20 more to go. I have not had any complications have not gotten sick and did not have any pain. So far it has been a breeze I can eat anything I try to keep my carbs around 40 my calories around 800 and Protein 80grams I followed everything the dr. said. The only thing I need to work on is exercising. How much do you have to lose. Out will be worth it I promise

Thanks for the encouragement! I have about 125lbs to loose. My Lord it sounds like a lot. The pre-op diet is kicking my butt.

It's great that you have done so well. I hope I'm the same way.

Wow! Why did you go to Mexico? I've noticed several people having surgery there. How did things go? Any complications?

I went to mexico for the price of the surgery. I have a low bmi compared to most and insurance wouldn't touch me here in the states, and the cost in the states can be up to 3-4 times as much. It was a fun experience, we stayed in San Diego, had a good time....

      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.
