I have just a little over 2 weeks left myself..... feeling nervous and anxious! Almost got everything on my list.... it's weird but the thing I dread the most is the i.v, I have tiny, deep, rolling veins it takes forever to get a line going and I feel like a pin cushion by the time they finally get it going.

You and me both.little more than 2 weeks left. Anxious, happy, excited, nervous. No rolling veins, but they tend to collapse, and I have a tape allergy that everyone from the doctors down to the nurses seem to ignore. Maybe I'll tattoo it to my forehead!

How is everyone's pre-op going. I a mid way through day 1. 14 to go! Not too bad YET. I have to say I am full after lunch. My liquid homemade chicken and vegetable Soup. I could only eat a few bites of Jello. Next shake at 3. I am not even close to Water goal. 18oz to go this round and then another 24 oz. I will try to get more water in after my soup digest.

You know I've read & seems like everyone does a liquid diet pre-op but I don't have to...I just have to do low fat.. I don't meet with my dr until the 27th

      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.
