Wow, Sumsuz68, everything you just said could have been written by me. The doubts, the 3 kids, not super big, the blood pressure meds, the sleep apnea. Good luck, I'm sure everything will be ok! Even better than ok, it will be a whole new life. I'm on March 8, so I'm a week behind you.

Do you need me to shoot your devil on your shoulder too? Good luck! Are you on your pre op diet now? 1 more week for me. Woo hoo!

Wow, bigdaddyjoe. We really are alike! I just looked at your profile and we have the same amount of weight we want to lose, only 2 years apart and Ben the same birthday month. Too funny!

I'm March 1st. Way to start a month with a bang! So looking forward to it, but I do have this annoying devil on my shoulder whispering things like is it the right thing to do? What If something happens? You have 3 children counting on u...what if things go wrong? I'm not super big (35 BMI), but obviously I'm big enough if they are allowing me to have surgery. If I don't do it now I know I will keep going up up up and having to get on more meds. I need this tool like nobodies business. I need to get off my sleep apnea machine and lood pressure meds. Will someone please shoot this stupid devil on my shoulder?!

I'm march 1 too. I'm also not that big 33-34 bmi. I have the same devil on my shoulder too trying to razz up my anxieties!

I'm shooting for March 7th. I have my stress echo, one month followup with my dr. and psych eval tomorrow. On Monday, I have my Upper GI, Nutrition consult, and sleep Study. I've heard my dr. does a lot more preop testing than most, but better safe than sorry! :)

I started my clear liquid/protein shake diet today. Is anyone else feeling like gagging from the texture of the shakes? Any suggestions?

PS.... Add me to the list please! :)

      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.
