So I haven't posted in ages but after having been given a surgery date of 10/8/12 and then getting a call the it had been moved back to 10/15/12 I was a little disheartened. But it is tomorrow! I had to travel to a hotel tonight and leave my kids at home and I was emotional leaving. Had quite a cry. I'm going to be in the hospital until Friday or Saturday. I'm not having a sleeve... Im having a DS so it is a bit different but I'm sure some of the same emotions still apply. Driving past all the restaurants on the way up here was a little sad. I'm breaking up with food... And headed to a healthier me. Look for me tomorrow night or Tuesday.... I'll post how I'm doing. Good luck to everyone else who goes this week and thanks to all those who keep posting after theirs. It's great to have advice from people so soon out.

Prednisone delays healing because it suppresses immune system that helps inflamatory process needed to kick start healing. It won't absolutely stop your surgery. It's really up to the surgeon. Did they figure out what the rash from? I'll be praying for a good outcome.

      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.
