Tell your mom the surgery has a mortality rate that is less than gallbladder surgery!

With my parents' date=' I focused on how this will help my overall physical health. Arthritis in my knees, acid reflux, thryroid issues, etc.[/quote']

Thanks Raven21

Today I finally had a last hurdle, my stress test. I have my appointment with my surgeon on Thursday and a date for surgery -Dec 6. I didn't have my sleeve class yet with the dietician and nurse but it will probably be next week. I am debating whether to pick chocolate or strawberry for the Protein Drink they supply for the week before surgery. Mostly I am wondering which I would be least likely to get tired or sick of.

I am a list maker and planner. So I was thinking if we brainstormed maybe we could help pre and post op be smoother. So here are some of my thoughts, please feel free to add to it.

So what have others done to prepare for surgery? What Protein drinks have you tried? What 'gear*' have you thought about getting?

* drink shakers, food measuring, smaller utensils, exercise equipment

Considering we are getting surgery in Dec, how are you prepping for your holiday ahead of time with shopping?

How are you altering your schedule and when do you think you will be doing most of your regular obligations again?

The people you haven't told yet but are planning to tell, how and when are you going to tell them?

It received some great advice from LovelyPea. I told her that my mother was nervous about me having surgery, she told me to remember you're going this to improve your health. She suggested taking photos of myself. I took the photos with bra and panties on all view. All I can say is OMG. I've never taken a full length picture if myself; seeing this really gave to the perspective I needed. It's about improving my health. Dec 10th here I come. I can't wait to take photos along the way. Excited!!!!!

      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. 🤞
