Worried About My Preop Appointment Tomorrow



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for surgery Aug 1st. My preop appointment is tomorrow, my doctor asked me to lose 15 pounds, I lost 11.4. I tried my best worked out every day sometimes twice a day at the gym. Kept a log on my fitness pal and stayed under goal every day. I had mostly Protein food and no junk, never drank my calories expect when I drank my Protein Shakes. Im so worried that this will still not be good enough. Please pray for me.

I think its enough. Especially since you have been exercising, building muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat so you probably have lost more than you think and gained some good muscles! No worries :)

Thank you I even got a print out from my gym that shows my check in times. I'm proud to say I haven't missed a day since we signed up. They should have perfect attendance awards at the gym.

I think you'll be fine. You can only control weight loss so much. It sounds like you've been doing everything right, so I can't imagine they will turn you away with proof that you've been complying with their instructions.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
