My surgury is November 6th. I am currently 21 and seeing as my birthday is in November as well i scheduled it as an early birthday present. Most of the info concerning the process ive gone through for my surgury is in my sig, and i have lost 40 lbs so far pre op. So far im really pumped to get it all started, the whole 30/30 drinking/eating thing is the only thing im concerned about as i am going to have to start forcing it more now.

either way if you guys would like more info please just let me know.

Add me to the list!

My name is Monica, and I'm scheduled for 11/12 with Dr Dat Nguyen in Manteca, CA.

I'm a single mom of three, fighting the cholesterol and BP that are creeping up due to obesity.

Best wishes to you all for a speedy recovery and great loss!

BTW, Amy (OP), do we know each other from another board?

I'm 11/12 too. 10:45 at Toledo Hospital, to be exact. Not that I'm excited or anything!

Dr. White is a genius, according to other sleevers but I almost wish I was doing this in Mexico because Ohio is already just too cold.

Christina,

I am also 61. Thank you so much for sharing your feelings. I was so moved that I read them to a small group of work friends. Which led to a very nice discussion about weight. One woman said she always thought heavy people felt the same as thinner people. The fact that you walk into a room and "size up the crowd" was a learning experience. Then I shared my thoughts too. Like tonight on the bus on the way home from work. The only seat left was one in the middle of 2 fat people. So I stood up. I was tired. I had worked on my feet for 5 hours. Last week, I was sitting in one of those 3 person seats and 2 heavy people squeezed in all I could imagine, was how funny we must have looked and maybe the bus would tip over, haha. I also can't wait to want to be in a picture again. I had some friends come to visit and they took pics and they posted them on FB. I nearly died. I was outed to all the people who had only known me as thin. Terrible. Well, all of that will soon be over. I wish we were closer in surgery dates.

Anyone else, the last week of November?

Hi Anslee,

I'm thinking my surgery will be the end of November. My Aetna 90 day requirement is over on Nov 14 and the paperwork then gets submitted to Aetna that day or the next. As soon as they approve my doc is fitting me in on his schedule. I'm excited and nervous! I know how you feel about the Facebook pictures....OMG... it's so humiliating. I want to be free of those self loathing feelings.....

My surgery is noe definitely scheduled for November 8th. I am on the second day of my Optifast diet. It's hard. But, I am doing it. Anyone else in my shoes?

You are the day before me! I'm November 9th. I don't have to do a pre op diet, but i'm doing one any way. I'm on day 3. I get a little irritated around 7pm and I do find myself just thinking about food for no apparent reason! Counting the days down!!!

      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
