What's your surgery date? He was very cool when I first met him and came highly recommended from a friend.

My surgery date is June 4th. I'm actually at the hospital right now doing my pre op appt.

Good luck! Maybe we'll run into each other at a support group get together. Please let me know your experience as you go.

Started my pre-op diet yesterday and it wasn't bad at all!!! After having my Breakfast and lunch I wasn't hungry when it came time for dinner, which I was very surprised. I did go ahead and have my dinner shake and a cup of yogurt. I hate to say but I went to the restroom all night.

Did this happen to anyone else?

I too was in the restroom all night and all morning this morning, but having increased my Water intake to nearly double that which is the minimum required for my pre-op diet, I'm not surprised. More Water and more urination is not a bad thing.

Yeah. I was discussing that with my boyfriend last night. My doc has his patients on a 1 week liquid diet. I can have 4-5 shakes a day, SF-jello, broth, skim milk, and 64oz of Water. The shakes have to have over 20mg of Protien, and less than 10mg of Carbs. (I hope I wrote that correctly, Im typing from memory.) Then the day before surgery, its all Clear liquids only: Water, broth, non-red sport drinks. That's the day I dread!

How about you?

The clear liquids is because red ones can appear to be blood. SO best not to have them in the system! I do pre-op on Monday (June 3), endoscopy on Tuesday, sleeve on Wednesday. WHEW!!

      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.
