I have everything ready, just waiting on a call from surgeons office. When I spoke with the nurse yesterday she said we were looking at Jan, 28th or 30th....I can't wait! The dr. office had sent the wrong surgery code to my insurance, so yesterday they were suppose to send the right code and when they get the okay they will schedule me for my last two visits before surgery..!

Hmmmm, what kind of liquids? How is your salt intake? And could it be hormonal?

salt intake is probably a little high since i'm making my own stocks to drink rather than the canned stuff. but I'm drinking a ton of liquids to counteract the salt. Who knows. Maybe just not enough. thinking about cutting down to 2 Protein Shakes instead of 3. Still less than the 5 they want me to drink

Make sure to verify the carb count on the Protein shakes. My surgeon requires less than 5 carbs per shake. He also requires I use non-fat or 1% milk to make them with. Salt can definitely make you retain Water. How much water do they want you to drink. I'm supposed to be at 100 oz a day. Ugh. I find using the Mio and Dasani water flavors help a lot if you aren't a big water drinker.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
