Its all becoming real now....preop testing tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

Oh my!!! Preop testing tomorrow...labs, Chest Xray, EKG and Upper GI. Its all becoming so real...exciting, nervous, stressed, worried...but mostly ready to start my new healthy life!! My last 2 worries are that something will show up on preop that will delay my surgery or that my liver won't be small enough surgery day....

Had my preop last Friday and surgery Monday! My surgeons do the upper GI just before surgery ....wonder how different that is? Any issues and they abandon surgery! I.e. you've eaten and there's food in there it like me have gastroparisis (sp?) And fear there will be food there!

Btw, we also have a lot on common, not only r our surgery dates the same, but I have pcos since I was 12 and am insulin resistant and take metformin. Pcos is a major reason I am doing the sleeve, however I wonder if pcos will slow our weight loss down a s compared to other women who don't have it. What do you think? Btw, I have 70 lbs to lose to get to my goal.

I doubt it. . Im 50 now and my pcos turned into diabetes 15+ years ago. I was super successful losing weight on low Carb. ...just couldn't stick with it long term!

Good luck to you and let's hope the surgery/weight loss will take away the diabetes!

        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
