Yes, I am getting excited...I do feel the excitement then honestly I get apprehensive and scared!! Back and forth! I would be feeling the same way if I were having the VSG in the States!! My daughter I will both be there at the same time. We fly in on the 16th. I will pray for your success and health outcome!

That is so sweet of you. I will do the same. I will probably be bored to tears after day one of being in florence, so will fire up the iPad and put the free WiFi to work.

I had one of the board friends say to me "you shouldn't be excited"...however, I am.

This is a new phase and a new journey. As with starting out any new challenge, difficulties will happen (sip, sip, sip) along with the wonderful opportunities that go along with it.

 

I look forward to slowly eliminating the 4 different sizes in my closet

 

What are you looking forward to?

I am with you on the clothes sizes....I am so looking forward to just getting dressed with out thinking about how uncomfortable I will be in my too small outfits! I think that some people are just more trusting and generally happier than some, like you are, so they can get excited easier and stay that way!! What a gift to have!! Then you have those that are more pragmatic, analytical and with some age under their belts, we become more cautious and analyzing everything to the point of becoming overly concerned sometimes.

 

Watching YouTube you can sense the ones that are positive and throw a little caution to the wind no matter what might happen to them...it shows in their countenance and they seem the happiest of all the WLS folks...I am trying to be a little more that way (now that I have analyzed everything :)!)Just my thought...

I'm on the 22nd now and I can't wait! I have many different size clothes that I bought for the future with the band and I'm excited to put them on without spilling out of them! Lol thinking about getting my teeth whitened while I'm there.......

        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
