Woo Hoo! Got My New Date. December 11



Recommended Posts

So excited. After getting so close on November 6 and only getting my gall bladder removed instead of GB removal and sleeve, I went for my follow up today and set a new date of December 11.

I was never so happy to start a diet (Pre op)!!

Continued success to you all and have a Very Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Mine is too! I start my liquid diet tomorrow and also go in for my pre-admission testing. I am so, so excited! I am sure I will be sick of it after a few days, but it does make it easier to plan what I am having. Either way, it means I am getting close!

Good luck! I hope we get to compare experiences and ideas along the way.

Hi JerseyGirl68,simplyfedup,Caroline G, mocanitanj again,

I am on the Dec. 11th too, I am glad to see that your back on track, happy for you.

I see my Surgeon and then get tests at near by hospital tomorrow. I hope everything will be cool and I just get the go ahead but this is one thing I worry about now just not knowing yet about my Gall Bladder. Not scared just yet,lol.

I lost 17 pd.s since they gave me my date when I was not expecting the insurance to come through until next year, I have no liquid diet but was told just to lose what I can before surgery and am started doing well so far. Had a low cal Thanksgiving day.

Lots of luck to you, see you guys when it comes close too.

I did my testing yesterday. They did an EKG, a chest x-ray, and a lot of bloodwork, but it sounded like it was because that's what my surgeon wants done so I think it is up to the individual surgeon. Good luck!

My surgery is 12.12.12... I went for pre-op testing last week. They did EKG, took my vitals, a ton of blood work, chest x-ray and I spoke with a Surgical RN and Anesthesia at the hospital. Then I went to my drs office and met with my surgeon for the last time before surgery. He went over any last minute questions I had, and also told me I didn't need to do the 2 week pre-op diet (I am doing it anyway, I started today), at the Surgeon's office I also signed my concent forms.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
