Hey all

Just found out I was approved for my surgery on 1/23. I am so excited and nervous. Having a hard time with the liquid diet. Still hungry most of the time. Can't wait to be on the other side with you post-oper's :)

Quick update. I went into surgery around 11:00. I have been continuously in and out of sleep. I feel much. Better than I thought I would. No throwing up or anything. No pain really, but I feel lots of pressure in my upper stomach area. Mouth and throat are very dry. Just got a wave of nausea. I'll write more later.

Thanks for getting back to me. I also had the lap band but due to complications and pain I had it removed in October 2012. I too had it for 3 years. It was the worst three years of my life. We are around the same age I am 25. I don't yet have a surgery date. Where did you have your surgery done? I'm going through Lancaster general. How are you doing since your surgery?

I had my surgery on 1/9/2013, I feel great no problems keeping things down still on full liquids. In morning I have breakfasts shake, chocolate, vanilla and apricot pineapple. For my snack I make Jello with whey Protein (sugar free) you can get small 4 oz containers. So you get some protein with your Snacks. lunch and dinner I have two Soups I eat. I have lost almost 20lbs, over 1" in my waist and that's just a guess; probably more. Any advice I can give someone is to follow your plan and take it slow.

      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.
