Thank you MizzouGirl! Wishing you the best for your surgery on Friday. How did today go for your Pre-op??

Not great. The morning was ok but the afternoon was miserable. Tried the Protein shot and threw it up. Just glad there is only 1 more day of this liquid diet hell. How about you?

Good for you!!! I've decided to save my Isopure until after surgery. Hoping to have one thing that's not tainted by a pre surgery puke. I just really struggle with the manufactured Protein stuff. sleep well and safe travels and let us know how it went when you get back.

How is everyone? I think I am more excited than nervous (at the moment)!

Yeah --- better to be excited! I'm a bit anxious but not as much as I have been over the last few days. I think this liquid diet has just zapped me into submission. Hoping the post surgery liquid diet isn't as difficult as this has been. I have lost 7.5 lbs in 2.5 days on it, though. Good luck to you!!!

On my way to the hospital in 10 minutes. Maybe slept 4-5 hours last night. I can't remember the last time I was this anxious..... Good luck all.

MizzouGirl's husband here. The surgery status board just updated and she's in surgery now. They bumped us to the second surgery so we're a bit later than expected.

The experience so far has been great. All the staff here have been really good. She did fine this morning but had some anxiety after initial prep in pre-surgery. I was able to wait with her. I did the best I could to comfort and relax her so she got a pre-surgery neck and shoulder massage.

So far this has been a lot to think about and process. Such an immediate and significant impact and eventual life changing benefits. It can be overwhelming. My wife has gotten a lot from her participation in the forums here. It's helped for her to be able to connect with all of you and share.

I'd like to personally say thanks to you all for the stories, insight, support, and encouragement.

Just talked to Dr. Everything went great. No problems, 100% laparoscopic, leak test passed. She's in recovery for about an hour and then I'll see her in her room.

In the hospital and under tornado warnings. Sirens are going off and circulations are going overhead. That have moved all patients to the hallways. Takes my mind off the discomfort. ;)

Oh no! Is your surgery going to be delayed? This is stress you don't need.

Already had my surgery this morning luckily. Just had to be moved from my hospital room to the hallway for awhile. No damage to the hospital but tornadoes did touch down not too far away (I live in the St Louis area).

Hello from the sleeved side! Everything went great and Dr. Alvarez and his team are AMAZING. Surgery took a little longer due to scar tissue from band that was removed last year. I am in absolutely no pain and have already started walking around. Can't wait to get the IV out tomorrow. Time to get some sleep now, tomorrow will probably be very tiring. Thank you for all your thoughts prayers!!!

        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.

      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
