Hello May Friends...

I am scheduled for May 16th. I started this journey in December of 2012. I was throwing up a lot and went to my doctor and she had me scheduled for many appointments which required an Endoscopy. It revealed I had a hiatal hernia. When I met with the surgeon, he suggested that I get it repaired in addition to getting bariatric surgery. I admit I am overweight, but never considered surgery to assist. I went through the program which included support groups, dietician meetings, a psycological evaluation, losing 10 pounds, keeping a food log, etc. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I start my liquid diet on May 2nd. I live in the Northern Virginia area. Looking forward to hearing from your experiences and day to day changes. Please keep in touch.

My date is May 20th. Surgery in Houston' date='Tx. I'm 5 8 and my highest weight 248. Went to doctor today and weigh 242 . The first change I decided to make was no sodas the month of March. Note I've been cutting down on the white stuff, bread, sugar, potatoes, rice. Next get moving. I really have no set weight. My goals are to be rid of medications!! But my surgeon says I will lose about 65/70 pounds. I have been over 200 pounds for 20+ years. I am 45 and my husband is my only support family wise. I have told one co worker, she supports me. I have a gastric bypass friend that is supportive. I told my 16 year old and it was a teary conversation on her part. But I'm determined to not be on these 10 pills a day.[/quote']

I to was 250 I am down 216 my date is set at may 20th and I did all those things and it is working but I can not tell my mother what I am doing be cues she thinks bad things will happen so I am telling her that I am going in for the lap ban and does'nt seem too mind that so much but I feel so bad that I have to lie to her .

      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.
