4 Days Until Surgery & I'm Weirding Out!



Recommended Posts

Good luck..!!you will be fine!..I'm sorry for that embarrassing moment..mine was getting on a plane and the seat belt not fitting and not being able to pull the tray down all the way in front of me. I made a joke of it like normal..but it really does suck..my surgery is Nov.7im freaking too..but I hit my knees and prayed this morning..I have to remember that I have to have faith..you'll be OK! Keep us updated!!

For those who believe, prayer and God's promises are a great comfort, He promises never to leave us and He is right there with us, every step we take, or wait, lol, as is my case, so good to have this forum, I've decided that nice people get sleeved, lol, :-)

Thanks everyone for a) making me feel slightly less crazy, and B) your sweet, comforting words! I am truly grateful for the people on this forum. Even the jerks as they helped me cement my decision by making me defend it!

Thanks y'all!! <3

Mine is 15th. I can't concentrate at this point. I worked from home this and signed off at 3. They should approve days before surgery

I had my sleeve 2 days ago and I was really frieking out once I was 7 days from surgery! I had to sit with my boss (Elem. School principal, I'm one if her secretaries) and exlain my Pre-op diet and why I was so edgy. She was totally understanding. I'm home and pretty uncomfortable (hiatal hernia surgery at same time) the gass is horrendous and moving and walking is the only way to get it out. Read some threads about "most embarrassing moments" or "last straw". You'll find you are not alone re: breaking lawn chairs and airplane seat belts that don't fit-funny and universal whenever I think this is too hard, I imagine how it would feel to step onto an elevator and every old boy/girlfriend you ever had was on it. What would they think when they saw you? OMG she looks great or WOW she's huge. That helps me get through, even tho it matters most how I feel about myself, the social aspect of my obesity is real and I will no longer lie to myself sayingit doesn't matter what anyone thinks -then why did I stop going to events and functions because of my weight- what to wear, etc. because I was ashamed. Niw that's the past, my new life started yesterday! Peace!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
