I'm in Fort Worth and my surgeon is Dr. Kuhn 6/13. Began pre op diet today.

What did your pre op diet consist of if I may ask? Dr. Kuhn is also my surgeon and my day is 8/19/13

So far, through conversation, I've discovered that every doctor's diet is a little different.

Mine had me on liquids for one week prior (1-2 weeks depending on BMI). It was pretty much whatever liquid (sugar free of course) up to 48hrs before surgery. Then clear only. That's about it.

I also was back on small portions of real food at starting at 2 weeks and added certain things until 8 weeks. At 8 weeks it was whatever I could handle.

Why are you struggling? Pain, or other issues? I'm getting sleeved on Wed. I'm interested in joining the support group as well.

I'm happy to say that I WAS struggling! I couldn't get liquids to go down... even the smallest baby sip felt like a huge gulp! I went in to see the doc and he did another swallow test and found that my sleeve was almost swollen shut.... and clogged with mucus. He gave me steroid shot and it was better the next day! I can take normal drinks now!!!

I may be interested in the future. As of now I just don't see myself ever going with school starting. What's it like? I've wondered if it was worth it.

I'm getting the sleeve done in September in Forest Park. I'm a little nervous, but am hoping this network will help me out.

      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.
