Congrats I have the same date. I wanted to shout it from the rooftops then I realized I haven't told many people and don't want to tell anyone else. So I sit online reading posts and thinking about the excitement and fear that I have.

I haven't told many people either. My immediate family knows, one friend, and my boss. Everyone else will see our results soon enough! Yay! :) Good Luck!

I'm the same way- just excited for it to get here. I see you have Dr. Foote... are you having surgery in Grand Rapids? I'm goign through Mclaren in Petoskey and having Dr. Baker. I've tried a few times to enter his name onto my profile, but the darn thing just won't save! Good luck to you too- I'd love to keep up with both of you!

So I finally told my boss I didn't tell him why just that I needed to have a procedure done. He is very uneasy with female stuff so I just said its a female issue. I know total cop out lol but he has a big mouth and will blab to the world. I've been feeling so nervous this last week. I even started researching other hospitals to make sure I want to stick with my surgeon. Ugh I'm using Barix Clinics in Langhorne and have heard nothing but amazing feedback on them. But they are not a bariatric center of excellence....and I started feeling nervous about not being in a full on hospital.

Do what you need to in order to feel comfortable. This is a big surgery! Research and ask lots of questions. I don't blame you for using that cop out. I work in an office full of big mouthed opinionated women- and have male bosses. I told my boss , and I am going to need to speak to the owner. (Ugh, surgery is 2 wks before my anniversary/more vaca days!) My mom doesnt think he'll ask... But I do. He has all daughters so I dont think female issues will scare him. I do worry though bc he has a big mouth too. Oh well. Everybody is going to realize something was done when we start dropping weight so fast!!! Woohoo! :-)

Lol exactly. I can't wait to walk into the office after 6 weeks post op down a few pounds. From what I read at 6 weeks I should be down about 50 lbs at least if I follow all rules which I intend to do! A fellow sleeved told her boss and co-workers that she had a cyst on her stomach and had to have it removed. I've also heard folks say they had appendix out or gallbladder removed but then you have to remember you said it. LoL

      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
