Do you think I'd be okay to go to Vegas a month after the surgery? The trip is already paid for and it's for my best friends birthday but I'm wondering if I'll be able to handle it? All the walking and what not.

Yes! Go to Vegas!! I felt great at one month. It will be an entirely NEW experience because you will have to be more structured in your food choices. You'll be drinking Water instead of anything more fun too....But you can learn to eat out on this program. It's not that difficult. Take some Protein Shakes to pull you through the tough times! No buffets...that would be a big waste of money. YOu won't believe how much you CAN'T eat!! Have fun.

I had planned on a vacation for mid-May, with my projected surgery happening in early-mid April. I decided this weekend to postpone the vacation because I don't know if I'll be completely healed in time. Plus, there will be swimming and lots of food and I don't see being allowed to swim with the incisions not healed yet...and I don't want to jepordize eating something that may make me sick. I haven't paid for the vacation yet, so it's easy for me to postpone it (although I was REALLY looking forward to vacationing soon!) But since you've already paid for it, I would still go. You just have to be mindful of what you eat. I know a lot of people on here are still on puree's a 4 weeks out. All of the walking should be good for you...just take short breaks. Good luck and have fun on your vacation! :)

You should feel fine to go but remember the difficulty drinking (especially alcohol) and food that you will have to endure. Its not gonna be a walk in the part but it will be fun to be outside and experiencing Vegas if you haven't been already. Just remember, its not gonna be the same trip as it would be pre-op obviously.

As long as you are prepared with Protein drinks' date=' pre-planning for your food choices and the knowledge that drinking might be out of the question. (You can be the designated photographer.) Have fun![/quote']

I'm not a very big drinker anyways so being the designated photographer shouldn't be too hard! Thanks for replying (:

      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.
