I'm with you too - mine is on Weds so the nerves are starting to kick in a bit and of course, that little voice in the back of my head that keeps telling me to chicken out. Nuh uh - haven't come this far to do that. We can all do eeet!

Good luck to you all. I'm now 4 days postop and it has been an up and down journey. I've had moments of regret mostly because of unconteolled pain, but as I type this I have adequate pain control and no regret. Keep us posted.

Oh and one more thing. Use this board. The people here are priceless. I've been here with several issues and there are always people here to help. Family and friends are great support, but cannot truly understand what you are going through like the people here can. That is, unless they've been through this too.

Breath! Smile! Think about how you are giving yourself the best gift ever. You are taking care of your health and your body and your mind and your spirit and the rest of your family (because they can't function properly without you!).

You are going to do great! I'll start warming up your seat on the loser's bench :)

I know what you mean about the nerves... I am trying to keep busy and not dwell on anything negative. I keep telling myself how things are going to be so much better with time after surgery. I am scheduled for June 13th and went for my pre-op appt yesterday. I'm all paid up now and there's no turning back... After reading everyone comments on this site, I feel very confident that I am dong the right thing. I fantasize about what it's going to be like in just a few short months, and I cannot wait to feel better. I am so looking forward to getting this done. I have been thinking about doing it for two years, and it's just a process to get to this point ....I started exercising again so that I can be stronger for surgery... I guess I will only do aerobic activity on the day before surgery because I don't need my body to be in muscle repair mode while I am trying to recover from surgery.. Good Luck to you all who will be having the surgery this week... I'll be rooting for you to have a complication free surgery and for you all to GET WELL SOON! My love to all.... Lorna-Doone

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
