My surgery is April 8 and it seemed like it was still way out there until I got the email with all my pre-op apps and took a look at how many weekends I have left to get everything done and ready! Glad there is a group of us all doing it around the same time. Nice to be able to vent/ stress with folks in the same boat !

I'm getting mine done April 8th, start my pre-opt diet Monday! I'm nervous, excited and scared all in one! Of course I am scared of the surgery and the fear I won't wake up (sure it's natural to feel that way), and scared and nervous of the pain. Scared and nervous that I'll have complications, and excited because if all those things I fear doesn't happen, I'll have a new life! I'm keeping my mind on the "I'm getting a new life" lol. .

I'm scheduled for April 5th and I share the same feelings. I'm so excited but nervous at the same time.

looks like there's quite the group of us getting sleeved on April 8 (Curvey, KatieOkieDokie, Happy01, me - who am I missing?)

I finally got around to trying a protien shake this weekend. OMG.. it was horrible! My husband picked it up at the Vitamin Shoppe - brand was Robb something maybe? The brand didn't look familiar to me at all from posts on here, so I'm hoping that means that the others everyone talks about really are better!!

I have not tried any of them yet.. I really need to be sampling to find the best kind since that will be my life for a couple of weeks. I was very glad to see this page created so that I can keep up with some of the others that are very close to me. I am just curious how many are having the surgery in the states or in Mexico?

      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
